The match is scheduled to start at 1:30 PM IST and Local Time. Live streaming will be available on Disney+ Hotstar and Star Sports Network.
Preview:
India have hosted their flag high and with pride in two formats of the ongoing series against England. They defeated the Three Lions by a margin of 3-1 in Tests, and then in the shortest format of the game as well, where the margin was 3-2.
Now, it is time for the 3-match ODI series. This will be a perfect opportunity for the men in blue to establish their dominance in all three formats of the game. On the other hand, after two disappointing series, England will be desperate to get back to winning ways.
