Mon Feb 03 08:38:03 UTC 2025: ## India and England to Clash in Three-Match ODI Series
**Nagpur, India** – India and England are set to face off in a three-match One Day International (ODI) series starting Thursday, February 6th, at the Vidarbha Cricket Stadium in Nagpur. This series holds significant importance for India, who aim to regain their winning form ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Their recent ODI record is underwhelming, with only one tie and two losses in their last three matches. Their last ODI victory was against New Zealand in the 2023 World Cup semi-final.
The series will see a clash of cricketing titans, with the focus on the form of Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Their recent performances have been inconsistent, raising concerns ahead of the upcoming ICC tournament. Another key concern for India is the fitness of Jasprit Bumrah, who has been included in the squad for the third ODI but whose participation is uncertain.
The first ODI will be played in Nagpur on February 6th, followed by matches in Cuttack (February 9th) and Ahmedabad (February 12th). The matches will begin at 1:30 PM IST, with the toss at 1:00 PM IST. Star Sports Network will telecast the series live in India, with live streaming available on Disney+ Hotstar.
The head-to-head record between the two teams stands at 58 wins for India, 44 for England, and two ties in a total of 107 matches. Both teams have announced their squads, with several key players on both sides looking to make a statement. This series promises to be a thrilling contest as both nations vie for victory.
