India hoping bowlers can deliver against England

January 20, 2015 08:10

Welcome to the coverage of the third match of the Carlton Mid ODI tri-series between India and England in Brisbane, on Tuesday.

Both India and England would be desperate for a victory after both the teams lost to Australia in their opening matches.

Hosts Australia beat England by three wickets in Sydney on Friday and then beat India by four wickets in Melbourne on Sunday.

In this series, billed as a dress rehearsal for the upcoming ODI World Cup, both England and India will be keen to get a victory under their belt.

World champions India are hoping their bowlers can deliver against England after a below-par performance in the Test series against Australia.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Axar Patel played a key role in squeezing the run-rate against Australia. Coming quickly on the heels of their Sunday outing, Indias bowlers in particular Kumar and Axar will be under the spotlight.

A similar bowling performance will be expected from the duo and if they are able to deliver on their promise, then it will be a huge step forward for this attack as senior spinner Ravichandran Ashwin had an off-day in Melbourne.
