India trash England to seal series
India trash England by 9 wickets in the fourth ODI at Edgbaston and the seal the series 3-0 with one match to go. This was a one sided affair as India dominated the home team from the start. Their last series win came in 1990.
The Indian team won the toss and elected to bat. England began off to a bad note losing wickets in the first 10 overs which really made the work of their batsman more difficult. After that Morgan and Root put an 80 runs partnership but after that wickets fell at regular intervals. Jadjea picked 2 wickets, Raina 1, Shami 3, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 2, Ashwin 1 and 1 run out. The Indian team bowled good line and lengths which never allowed the England batsman to settle and rocked them at top. The only positive from England view was Moeen Ali who played a good 63. Apart from that the England team would have struggled to get 150. The fielding off the Indian was great saving runs.
India batting made light work off the total chasing in 30.3 overs. Shikhar Dhawan was not 97 and Rahane scored his first ODI ton. They smashed the England bowlers to all parts of the ground. There was no stopping these two players. This win showed the class in teams and ability to play ODI cricket. India dominated in all three matches. The batting of Raina, Rahane, MS Dhoni, Rayadu made impact with some contribution in three matches.
The last ODI to played in Leeds and the main aim of the Indian is continue the winning momentum. The team should give chances to Karn Sharma, Sanju Samson and Umesh yadav. This ODI series shows that when India play 50 over cricket they look a different team and why this team is considered a world champion.
Leading to the world Cup I think all the matches are important and this win will make sure that they come with more aggression in the final match.
