England are all set to host India in the second match of the ODI series. This match will be played at Cardiff. India will be led by Shubman Gill and they won the opening match comprehensively and are leading the series 1-0. Axar Patel delivered an all-round performance by scoring a half century and also picked up four wickets to ensure India dominated the game.
