India and England will meet in the second ODI of the three-match series, with the visitors on the back of a big win in the first match. Cricket fans all over the world are waiting for the next chapter in this rivalry, and both teams are going to Cardiff for the final match.
India entered the ODI series with a poor T20I performance in England, but they turned it around in that first one-day match. The Men in Blue took control of the match and comprehensively beat England with six wickets and took a 1-0 lead in the series.
The first ODI was also full of great performances by the Indian team. Shubman Gill played a crucial innings, and Axar Patel had a match-winning all-round performance with both bat and ball. Washington Sundar also played a big role as India comfortably chased the target and put England under pressure ahead of the second match.
In the middle order, England, on the other hand, will be desperate to get a bounce back and keep the series alive. The hosts looked good in the first ODI, but suffered a shocking middle-order collapse that finally cost them the match. Joe Root and Liam Dawson did try to rebuild and made some runs, but the total was short against a good Indian batting lineup.
With the series on the line, the second ODI is expected to be fiercely contested. A victory for India would seal the series, but England will have to win to force a decider in the third and final ODI.
The match will be played in Cardiff, a place with balanced conditions for both batters and bowlers. Weather conditions may also be a factor, as Cardiff's summer weather can be unpredictable.
