Analysis:

Batsmen have dominated the bowlers in the first two ODIs and the trend is expected to be continued in the third ODI as well.  The likes of KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Jonny Bairstow, Jason Roy, Shikhar Dhawan and all-rounder Ben Stokes have looked in devastating form with the bat and the spotlight will again be on these players as they look set to continue their rich vein of form. These players will be the best captain and vice-captain choices for this match.

World champions England looked in formidable form on Friday as Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes made a mockery of India’s bowling effort. England chased down the target of 337 in just 43.3 overs with 6 wickets in hand. If India can get early wickets on Sunday, they can expose the weakness of England’s fragile middle-order, which is missing some key players. Moeen Ali can be a key pick for fantasy team as he bowled his full quota of 10 overs and was the most economical bowler in the 2nd ODI.  He can contribute with the bat too.
