England vs India Preview
Recent results
England’s last ODI series on home soil saw them lose 2-1 to South Africa. The Three Lions were then thrashed 3-0 by New Zealand in October/November of last year, results which came just prior to the infamous Ashes Down Under. But England did beat Sri Lanka 2-1 in this format back in January, with Brook’s team applying themselves very well in some tricky conditions.
After losing in the 2023 Cricket World Cup final to Australia, India have won three out of the last six bilateral series, but did suffer a surprise 2-1 loss to New Zealand on home soil back in January. India also lost 2-1 in Australia last October, although the series followed the convincing success in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy – a tournament in which England failed to win a single game!
Head-to-head record
India have won the last three bilateral series vs England in this format.
The Indians claimed a 2-1 victory on English soil in 2021, before back-to-back victories at home in 2022 (2-1) and 2025 (3-0).

England vs India Betting Tips
Harry Brook to score a 50 in the match – Yes @ 3.20
England skipper Brook looked in fine nick during the T20 series, and he will look to carry that over into the longer one-day format. The Yorkshireman has never quite found his best form on the ODI stage, currently averaging 39.82 with the blade. But in nine of his 38 innings thus far he has scored 50 or more runs, and surely has the confidence behind him to take this game by the scruff of the neck.
Virat Kohli to score a 50 in the match – Yes @ 2.85
This is the one international format Kohli still plays in – and it is the arena where his stats are the best, in fact the best of any cricketer in history. The Indian legend has scored 14,797 ODI runs at a ridiculous average of 58.72, hitting a record 54 centuries in the process. Kohli also has 13 50+ scores from 38 previous ODI matches vs England, so backing him here could be a great route to profit.
