Preview

India will aim to secure an unbeatable lead when they face England in the second ODI of the three-match series in Cuttack. The hosts dominated the first match with a commanding four-wicket victory on Thursday, taking a 1-0 lead in the series. With Virat Kohli expected to return, all eyes will be on India's playing XI.

Young pacer Harshit Rana made a remarkable debut, grabbing three wickets in the first match, and is likely to retain his spot in the lineup. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill played a crucial innings, scoring a match-winning 87 runs to guide India to a comfortable victory.

For Jos Buttler’s England, this match is a do-or-die situation. They may consider shifting from their ultra-aggressive batting approach to a more calculated strategy. England's chances of success will largely depend on how their attacking intent fares against India’s quality spin attack
