**Ahmedabad, India** – India completed a comprehensive 3-0 sweep of their ODI series against England with a dominant 142-run victory in the final match at Narendra Modi Stadium on Wednesday. England, winning the toss and electing to field, were unable to contain India’s powerful batting lineup.

Shubman Gill anchored India’s innings with a superb century (his seventh in ODIs), further solidifying his strong form ahead of the upcoming Champions Trophy. Virat Kohli, after a less successful previous match, contributed a half-century, while Shreyas Iyer also impressed with a quickfire fifty. India posted a challenging 356/ (wickets lost).

England’s chase started promisingly with a 60-run opening partnership between Philip Salt and Ben Duckett, and a strong contribution from Tom Bradden. However, after losing two early wickets, their middle order crumbled under pressure from the Indian bowlers. Joe Root and Jos Buttler both fell cheaply, and England were bowled out for 214 in 34.2 overs.

Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Hardik Pandya, and Axar Patel each claimed two wickets apiece, dismantling the England batting line-up. The convincing victory sets India up confidently for the upcoming Champions Trophy.
