ENG vs IND 1st ODI Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report | IND vs ENG 1st ODI Dream11 Prediction Today | England vs India 1st ODI Key Players | The Oval Pitch Report

Strap yourselves in, this will be fun. As the T20Is showed, no guts no glory is high on the agenda, and the ODI series is sure to deliver more of the same.

Jonny Bairstow, the talk of the town, is back for England, alongside Joe Root and Ben Stokes. England know only one way, and with good batting conditions expected at The Oval, the Indian attack has their work cut out to keep them in check. Indeed, with the likes of Liam Livingstone and Moeen Ali listed as England’s finishers, India need a strong start upfront to ramp up the pressure on the hosts.

For India, they enter this series off the back of an encouraging T20I series victory. The key was a change in approach, with the likes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli employing an attacking mindset from the beginning. However, the pressure on both remains given various others are in fine form, most notably Suryakumar Yadav who struck a magnificent ton in the final T20I.
