IND vs ENG 2026 Live Streaming Info, 2nd ODI Match at Sophie Gardens, Cardiff: When, Where, How to Watch

IND vs ENG 2026 2nd ODI: It will be a ‘homecoming’ for Team India captain Shubman Gill as he leads his side in the second ODI of the three-match series vs England at the Sophie Gardens in Cardiff on Thursday. A win at Cardiff will give the visitors an unassailable 2-0 lead after they comprehensively defeated Harry Brook’s side by six wickets in the opening game at Edgbaston on Tuesday.

After a 4-0 whitewash in the five-match T20I series, Team India will be looking to regain some pride with a series win in the ODI format. It will be a homecoming of sorts for Gill as well since he was the Overseas player of Glamorgan team back in September 2022.

Indians will be hoping that Gill would have sufficiently regained his fitness after retiring hurt on the score of 80 off 75 balls with a combination of cramps and pain in his glutes. The Indian cricket fans were disappointed with the poor comeback of ‘RoKo’ – Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli – but managed to overhaul the 259-run target thanks to a century partnership between all-rounder Axar Patel and Washington Sundar.

“What Rohit and Virat will bring is calmness and confidence, and that only comes with experience. The T20I squad lacked experience, so having players who have consistently performed against England across Tests, ODIs and T20Is will give the dressing room belief because they know how to win. It won’t be easy. England have identified certain areas they can target, and after a 4-0 T20I series defeat, there will naturally be some pressure on the team,” former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara was quoted as saying on JioStar’s ‘Googlies’ program.

“But the confidence Rohit and Virat bring can rub off on the rest of the squad. They have also had time to prepare before the ODI series, and that preparation should help them perform well. I hope they have a strong series,” Pujara added.

Team India enjoy a big edge over England when it comes to head-to-head contests after posting their 62nd win on Tuesday as compared to 44 losses in 111 matches so far.
