England vs India ODI Series- A Statistical Preview

Runs- Lots of Runs

India haven't been too far behind as far as run-scoring goes

While England have scored the quickest in the ODIs since the World Cup, at 6.26 runs per over, Team India is not far behind- tied with Australia at the second spot. As far as batting averages go, the Indian batsmen have scored more than 45 runs per wicket lost- more than four runs per wicket more than the next best. And who is the next best? England, of course! The two teams between themselves account for 1 out of every 3 ODI totals of 300 or more in this period.

The most individual centuries in the format in this period have come from the bats of the Indians- 17. Rohit, Dhawan, and Kohli share 14 of these between themselves. The English batsmen with 15, are number 2 on the list. The bowlers will already be thanking their stars that it is just a three-match series.

The first ODI of the series will be played at the Trentbridge in Nottingham. In the last two completed ODIs here, the team batting first scored 444/3 and 481/6, respectively- both World Records.
