Which team is stronger India or England? IND vs ENG 3rd ODI 2025 preview

Welcome to the preview of India versus England 3rd ODI. India has won the T20 series and first two matches in ODIs. India has already won the ODI series with a lead 2-0. We know that the 3rd ODI will be a death driven match. India will be looking for the victory and whitewash England in ODI series

India won the T20 series and did not whitewash England. India has made some little mistakes in the 3rd, T20 and lost against India. Now, India is looking to whitewash England at least in the ODI series.

Will India whitewash England in the ODI series? Which team is stronger India or England? What are the changes in playing 11 of India and England? What ground reports says? To know all these, welcome to the preview of India versus England 3rd ODI.

Since England has already lost 2 matches against India. Now England will be looking to win against India in Ahmedabad. The ground pitch is neutral for both bowling and batting. The pitch report was different in the previous two matches. But this pitch report is different. The pitch is totally neutral. England must do something this time and win over India.
Sometimes the scene will be different, it’s more of crazy and heart breaking. India has a strategy to win the 3rd ODI. We all agree with this. But what if India lost against England in the Champions trophy? What if the lost match is semi final or final? It’s totally different, it’s totally unfair when India won all matches in the series but lost in the champions trophy. Many incidents have happened like this there are many examples too.

Winning in series and losing in main events. Its unfair. Whatever India loses 3rd ODI doesn’t matter since it is a death driven match. Winning in the champions trophy is very important. India has to perform well when it comes to mega events like the champions trophy. India might oppose England in the playoffs. We all wait to see what happens in the champions trophy.

Ground Reports:

The 3rd India versus England ODI will be playing in Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. We can say it’s a neutral pitch. Both batting and bowling equally show similar stats in ODI format.

A total of 36 matches have been played in this venue, of which 19 matches are won by the team which took batting first and 17 by the team which opted for bowling first. The winning prediction is almost based on toss winning. 19-17 doesn’t show heavy margin difference.

England opted for batting in the first two matches and have lost both the matches. In the 3rd ODI might come with a different thought. Or it might come with the same thought. When we see previous India vs England matches, England always opted for batting. There are chances England might come with the same pattern and opt for batting if England wins toss.

In the previous two ODIs, the toss was won by England. This time we wish India will win a toss and opt for batting. We have seen England’s first batting twice. At least one match we wish to see India’s batting. Since it is a neutral pitch, it will be better if India gets batting first.

The average first innings score is 237. The average 2nd innings score is 208. Here in this pitch, there might be little difficulty in batting. And bowlers might look effective. In the afternoon, spinners are more effective than pace bowlers. In the evening both spin and pace will become effective. This says 1st innings is better to score runs that can keep the target a little high.

What are changes in Playing 11?

England might take the same squad as the 2nd ODI. Tom Banton might be joining England’s squad but it’s not officially confirmed. And Jacob Bethel is injured as he will not be playing. England might take the same team to the 3rd ODI against India.

We can expect small changes in the Indian team. Harshit Rana has to sit and the chance has to give Arshdeep Singh. Because Arshdeep Singh has been selected for the Champions trophy. Harshit Rana has not been listed in the squad.

The final squad for the Champions trophy will be released soon and there might be a lot of changes. A lot of confusions are going on for whom this has to be given i.e Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy. It’s better if Arshdeep Singh plays instead of Harshit Rana who is sure of the shot selection for the champions trophy.

If Harshit Rana plays the Champions trophy, he might be playing on behalf of Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah was injured in the Border Gavaskar trophy and is still recovering. Playing in the champions trophy became doubtful.

The venue is totally neutral. Any team can win i.e batting or bowling. In the previous matches toss mattered a lot. And England took the wrong step without analysing previous stats. But this stadium is unlike the previous ones. Toss doesn’t matter at all.

According to the playing 11, match stats, pitch report, there are higher chances that India may win. If it happens England will be whitewashed by India.
