Indian Cricket Team gifted a thrilling victory to the fans present at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack, making the India Vs England 2nd ODI, one of the most memorable and dominance defining matches in recent past. While Yuvraj Singh played an exceptional comeback innings and scored his personal best, MS Dhoni also started a new chapter by scoring a career defining century against England.
More than 700 runs were scored during the match and when India lost 3 quick wickets on just 25 runs, we never thought of seeing such high scoring game. At the end of 1st innings, India gave a target of an imposing 381 runs to England. Considering England’s performance in One Day Internationals, nobody expected them to show a fighting spirit but Cricket is not a game of expectations and the visitors put up a fine performance during the chase, reaching 366 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in 50 overs and Virat Kohli led Indian team claimed the series by 2-0, making the third and the final ODI just a formality.
Here are some of the statistical highlights from India Vs England 2nd ODI:
The last match of the series will be played at the historic Eden Gardens on 22nd January 2017. While Virat Kohli will be looking forward for a complete whitewash, Eoin Morgan would need to up his team’s game to prevent complete humiliation. However, by fighting till the last moment and coming very close to a historic run chase, England has showed that their lineup is capable of giving some mind boggling performances and they shouldn’t be underestimated.
