The second ODI at Lord’s today will be an opportunity for the rival teams to commemorate their respective historic wins at the Mecca of cricket. It is exactly two decades and a day since India had registered their famous NatWest Series win on July 13, 2002, while England on this day in 2019, had won their maiden ICC World Cup after a pulsating final against New Zealand. So, besides the three-match ODI series being on the line here, it’s also an opportunity to recall memorable wins.
After India outplayed England in the first ODI at The Oval on Tuesday, the question on everyone’s lips is if they can do an encore and wrap up the series here. The players, however, realise that not every day is a Sunday, or for that matter, a Tuesday. Just last week, on Tuesday, the Indian bowlers had failed to defend 378 in the fifth and final Test at Edgbaston. And a week later, the pace attack led by Jasprit Bumrah flattened the much-reputed English batting line-up en route a 10-wicket win for a 1-0 lead in the series.
