India will look to seal the series in the 2nd One Day International at Cuttack. The hosts are firm favourites to whitewash England in the 50 over format too.

England will look to bounce back after their shocking defeat in Pune at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. They will look to pick up Virat Kohli and Kedar Jhadav early this time. They would want their bowlers to step up, especially spinners Moen Ali and Adil Rashid. The in-experienced spin duo went for plenty in the last game.
