Big challenge before England
If we talk about head to head record in ODI between India and England, the English team seems to have a weak upper hand. A total of 107 ODI matches have been played between the two teams so far, in which India has won 58 times while England has won 44 times. 3 matches remained inconclusive while 2 matches were tied. England’s ODI record on Indian soil is very bad. The England team has not been able to win a single ODI series in India for 40 years. During this period, 2 ODI series have ended in a draw but England has not been able to win the series.
Let us tell you, England won the last ODI series on Indian soil in the year 1984-85. A long time of 40 years has passed since then but England has not been able to win even a single ODI series in India. However, this time England will have a great chance to end this drought because Team India has not played an ODI series for a long time. Last year, only Team India played the only ODI series against Sri Lanka. 3 matches were played in this series and Team India lost the series badly by 0-2. After 27 years, Sri Lanka was successful in defeating Team India in the ODI series.
