England vs India 3rd ODI Manchester Weather Forecast: Will rain affect series decider at Old Trafford?
India Today
England vs India 3rd ODI Manchester Weather Forecast: India and England will look to win the three-match One Day International series by clinching the final game which is set to take place at Old Trafford in Manchester on Sunday at 3:30 PM IST.
The Indian team will look to make amends in the series-deciding third ODI when they take on England at Manchester's Old Trafford on Sunday. After being blown away by Jasprit Bumrah's six-wicket haul at The Oval, England came up with similar treatment at Lord's through tall left-arm quick Reece Topley's 6-24, with good support from fellow left-arm quick David Willey and lower-order runs of Willey as well as Moeen Ali rescuing them from a top-six meltdown after Yuzvendra Chahal struck in middle overs.
Rohit Sharma's approach in most of the games isn't a problem, but Indian team management led by head coach Rahul Dravid will have its own set of issues if 37-year-old Dhawan is their choice going into next year's 2023 ODI World Cup.
Virat Kohli's endless saga of failures has only compounded the problems and is also a big factor, but senior openers playing out two maiden overs at the start didn't indicate a positive mindset either. While the ODI World Cup is still 15 months away,
it needs to be seriously deliberated on whether Rohit, Dhawan and Kohli will be India's Nos. 1, 2, and 3 going forward.
