IND vs ENG, 2nd ODI: Stats Preview of Players' Records and Approaching Milestones

After a comfortable win in the first ODI, Team India (IND) will look to wrap up the ODI series against England (ENG) by taking a 2-0 lead in the three-match series. England will be under pressure to get a win and keep their hopes of winning a first ODI series win in India in over 40 years alive. 

The visitors got off to a blistering start in the powerplay in the first ODI. Infact debutant Harshit Rana conceded 26 runs off one over against the Three Lions. However, one wicket triggered a collapse as England crumpled in the middle overs as Rana and Ravindra Jadeja led a team-bowling effort to keep the target low enough. 

In reply of the run chase, Team India were in a spot of bother having lost both openers quickly, but the comeback man, Shreyas Iyer, launched a fierce counter-attack at breakneck speed with a match-defining fifty (59 off 36 balls) that put India right back in the game. Shubman Gill (87 off 96 balls) and Axar Patel (52 off 47 balls) continued the momentum with fifties of their own, and even though India lost a flurry of wickets near the end of the chase, they managed to win the match. 

Moving ahead, the teams will now hope to get a crucial win as time runs out before the Champions Trophy 2025, with both teams sporting visible chinks in their armours.
