10 Most Memorable India vs England ODI Matches

Group Stage, 2011 Cricket World Cup (M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore)

A thrilling match that ended without a winner

From one World Cup clash to the other and this one was certainly more thrilling and breathtaking than any other World Cup clash between the two countries. This was a match between two of the best ODI teams in the world, and it ended in a way that was very uncommon in the World Cup tradition.

Despite only being a group stage match, this match had most of the Indians and English people on the edge of their seats for the better part of 100 overs. Batting first in Bengaluru, the Indian team had one of the best days in batting with Sachin Tendulkar leading the charge with a phenomenal 120 run knock.

India were all set for a 350+ total when Gambhir and Yuvraj were batting but a late assault by Tim Bresnan reduced India to just 338 runs in 49.5 overs. Much like the Indian batting, the English batting was more like a one-man show, with Andrew Strauss scoring a career-best 158 before getting dismissed at 281 in the 43rd over.

Even though England kept losing wickets, the English lower order made essential contributions as England ended up having the same score on the board as India, ending the match in a tie. Even though the match ended without a winner, it was one of the most thrilling matches from the 2011 World Cup.
