IND vs ENG 1st ODI - Mar 23, 2021

Virat Kohli’s World No.2 India take on Eoin Morgan’s World No.1 England in the three-match series in Pune, beginning today. While Kohli and Co would like to continue their winning streak in the series, Eoin Morgan-led Three Lions would want to return to winning ways as their ICC Rankings will be at stake.

ODI Openers with the highest Average winning Matches

[Himanshu]

The format has no relative significance at this moment, considering all ICC tournaments between now and the next year are T20Is, with the 50-over World Cup event scheduled only in 2023.

Indian minds, largely speaking, are more occupied by the thought of playing the World Test Championship final in June, the tour of England followed by the upcoming T20 World Cup in October and November. The English minds meanwhile are already sailing past the seas Down Under, contemplating the Ashes. Everything else already seems a blur in their case.

Given the scenarios, these One-dayers are merely a formality that both sides will be looking to get over with at the earliest. As far as the men’s World Cup Super League 2020-23 rankings are concerned, India languish at the 10th spot in the table by virtue of having played only three ODIs (in Australia) between 2020 and now, winning one and losing two. Being the hosts, India will automatically qualify for the 2023 World Cup, regardless of where they end up on the table.

Eoin Morgan won the toss for 9847265th time and elects to bowl first.

3 - England have put together a run of three successive victories versus India in men’s ODI cricket, a win here would equal their longest ever winning streak against them in the format (4 in a row between 1974 and 1981). Streak.
