In the first ODI in Nagpur, India is leading the series 1-0. Courtesy of Shubman Gill’s score of 87 and a convincing win by four wickets. Along with those contributions, Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel also put some runs on the board. In the bowling front, Harshit Rana and Ravindra Jadeja picked up three wickets, leaving England at 248.

Jos Buttler will lead England in looking to level up the series. Despite a good start in the first ODI with a 93-run partnership between Ben Duckett and Phil Salt, the team succumbed to a middle-order wobble. Even though contributions from Buttler and Jacob Bethell gave them some cushion there, it was not enough for the determined Indian side.
Pitch and Weather Report
Cuttack’s Barabati Stadium pitch is known for its support of spinners, with the spinners also benefitting from variable bounce in the past. However, it has now become a much more batting-friendly home ground, leading to high-scoring matches lately. The average score at that ground is approximately 270-280 in the first innings. Winning teams generally prefer to chase in the hope that dew would not fall in the evening.
The weather prediction for Cuttack on the match day includes sunlit skies with temperatures around 32 degrees Celsius (89.6 degrees Fahrenheit). Humidity equals 56%, and the chance of rain is low-negligible, which makes them really happy and land for cricketing.
