At the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, India’s (IND) path to title No. 3 kicks off on September 30 with a warm-up match against reigning champions England (ENG). The Men in Blue just defeated Australia in a three-match ODI series, so they should be optimistic about their chances. However, there are still several issues that the squad needs to work out right away.
The Rohit Sharma-led team has recently struggled against elite pace units, and the third ODI match against Australia showed the similar trend. Additionally, spinners have also recently caused them problems. Therefore, there is a lot of space for development for batters right now.
Due to the Three Lions’ penchant for playing aggressive cricket, the bowlers will likely be under some strain. As Shardul Thakur and Mohammed Shami continue to argue, India’s combination needs to be considered. We’ll be paying particular attention to how Ravichandran Ashwin performs against a powerful side. With many match-winners in their starting XI, England shouldn’t have too many concerns.
