The IND vs ENG series concludes with the third and final ODI in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, February 12. India have already won the series by winning the first two games. They would ideally like to cleansweep the visitors in the series.
England, on the other hand, have had a disappointing performance so far in the T20Is first and now the ODIs. The only win they managed in the series was in the Rankot T20I where they won by 26 runs.
Barring that one win, the visitors have been rather ordinary. They have failed to play the Indian spinners and that is where they have lost the contest after getting themselves to a good position for a win.
Both the teams would like to finetune their squads ahead of the Champions Trophy. However, the problem for England is a bigger one with their batters inequipped to bat against the turning conditions more of which awaits them in the ICC event. From India's perspective, runs from the bat of Virat Kohli would bring the fans a sigh of relief after his pale run in the recent past.
