If the T20I series and the Test series prior to that were anything to go by, we knew that this was going to be one hell of an ODI series. Team India is the #2 ODI team in the world and they’re in good form too. They won the 1st ODI after England had a middle order collapse but it wasn’t to be in the 2nd ODI where England cantered to 340 in the chase without any sort of hassle, registering an easy 4-wicket victory.
India batted first in the last couple of games even though their strength usually lies in chasing in this format of the game. They will have to work hard on their bowling approach if they want to win this ODI series. Both games saw massive totals at the MCA Stadium in Pune and you should pick a number of batting options.

India
Regardless of winning or losing, captain Virat Kohli has continuously been scoring runs in this format. He came off 3 fifties in 5 T20Is and has continued the form here with two consecutive fifties and there’s no way we’re leaving him out of our IND vs ENG fantasy team. We think Hardik Pandya will have a huge role to play and he’s my fantasy captain pick today provided he’s given to bowl unlike what happened in the 2nd ODI.
Kuldeep Yadav has conceded 152 runs in 2 games this series and hasn’t even picked a wicket, so we think he may be axed for Yuzvendra Chahal who was also expensive in the T20 series but at least managed to pick up a few wickets. The spinners were taken to the cleaners in the last game which means the likes of Bhuvi and Shardul Thakur will play a huge role, with the slower deliveries expected to be of massive importance.
England
With 3 wickets in the 1st ODI and then a blistering innings of 99 in the 2nd ODI, Ben Stokes is someone who can’t be left out of your IND vs ENG Dream11 team because of his all-round abilities. With scores of 94 and 124 in these two games so far, wicket-keeper Jonny Bairstow has brought himself into form in this ODI series and he’s someone who the Indian bowlers will want to get rid of early in the game.

Mark Wood was rested in the last game and with a poor outing for Reece Topley and Tom Curran, we think Wood might make a comeback for the 3rd ODI in Pune. Having gone wicketless in both games so far, not many will be picking Moeen Ali in their PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) IND vs ENG fantasy teams but he got 8 wickets in the last Test and bats as well, so there’s no way we’re keeping him out of our team.
