The Indian team is all set to kick off their ODI series against England. After five T20I clashes, both sides will lock horns across three ODIs, with the first game being played at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Jamtha, Nagpur, on Thursday, February 6. Over the years, Team India have played six ODI games in Nagpur, where they have managed to maintain a positive winning record. Out of the six ODIs played in Nagpur, India have won six matches and lost the remaining two.
The side played its very first ODI at the venue back on October 28, 2009, where they defeated Australia. Furthermore, the latest ODI played in Nagpur was between India and Australia as well, during Australia’s tour of India in February-March 2019.
Both sides played at the venue on March 5, 2019, where India registered an eight-run victory. The clash saw India coming in to bat first, where Virat Kohli’s 116-run knock, alongside Vijay Shankar’s outing of 46 runs, saw India post a total of 250 runs in the first innings. Furthermore, thanks to Kuldeep Yadav, Vijay Shankar, and Jasprit Bumrah’s heroics with the ball, India limited the Men in Yellow to 242 runs, winning the game by eight wickets.
With four out of six ODIs won in Nagpur, the Men in Blue will hope to continue their form at the venue. Defeating England across four T20Is in the five-game series, the Suryakumar Yadav-led side managed to put in a good showing in the shortest format, and the side will hope for similar performances in the ODI series as well.
