Wed Feb 12 16:49:12 UTC 2025: ## India Sweeps England in ODI Series with Dominant Victory
**Ahmedabad, India** – India completed a resounding 3-0 sweep of their ODI series against England with a 142-run victory in the final match at Narendra Modi Stadium on Wednesday. Winning the toss, England captain Jos Buttler opted to bowl first. India posted a challenging 356/10 in their 50 overs, a total fueled by Shubman Gill’s magnificent century (112 runs), Shreyas Iyer’s 78, and Virat Kohli’s 52. KL Rahul also contributed a valuable 40.
England’s chase never gained momentum. They were bowled out for 214 in 34.2 overs, succumbing to a disciplined Indian bowling attack. Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Axar Patel, and Hardik Pandya each claimed two wickets apiece, while Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav took one each. Adil Rashid was England’s most successful bowler, taking 4 wickets.
While several English batsmen made starts – Ben Duckett (34), Tom Banton (38), and Gus Atkinson (38) being the notable contributors – none could convert them into substantial scores. The Indian bowlers consistently kept the pressure on, restricting England’s scoring rate and preventing any significant partnerships.
The series win was a testament to India’s all-around strength, with Gill’s stellar performance earning him the player of the series award. India’s next match is against Bangladesh in the Champions Trophy on February 20th.
