How to Watch the Live Stream of the First ODI 2025 Between India and England.
India and England are competing in the first of three ODI series matches in Nagpur.
The first ODI between India and England will take place amid the visiting team's attempt to regain lost ground after suffering a crushing 4-1 defeat in the recent T20 matches. This will be the first opportunity to see the team's performance under the guidance of coach Brendon McCullum in this 50-over format. England's last victory in the 50-over World Cup in 2019 feels like a distant memory, especially after a disappointing 2024 in which they failed to win any series, leaving them in seventh place in the world rankings.
India, on the other hand, will welcome the return of Rohit Sharma as captain following a frustrating Test tour in Australia. However, they are feeling highly confident after defeating their opponents this Wednesday in the T20 matches. It has been nearly six months since their last ODI match, and they are hoping for a much better performance than in the recent 2-0 series loss against Sri Lanka.
