England Beat India in the second ODI

The second ODI between India and England was on 14th July 2018 at Lord’s, London. England beat India by 86 runs. Player of the match was Joe Root.

Depending on Joe Root’s century and Liam Plunkett’s four-wicket haul, England beat India by 86 runs in the second ODI at Lord’s on Saturday. With the win, England leveled the three-match series 1-1. A famous Indian batting line-up collapsed in front of England bowlers. India had to chase a target of 323 but scored only 236 in 50 overs.

India has got a decent start with Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma contributing 49 for the opening wicket. But after the first wicket of Rohit, Dhawan and KL got out one after another. Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina contributed 80 runs for the fifth wicket and got dismissed. All Rounder Hardik Pandya also got out after scoring 21 runs. With the required run rate, it got very difficult for MS Dhoni (who reached 10,000 ODI run-mark) to take India over the line.

For England, Liam Plunkett led the bowling charge by picking up four wickets. Spinners Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali too bowled brilliant economical spells creating pressure on the Indian batsmen. Adil clinched two wickets while Moeen Ali, David Willey, and Mark Wood managed one wicket each.
