India vs England Fifth ODI: Everything You need to Know

The players of these two teams are now eagerly waiting for the next match. The 5th ODI has become the most important for India. If India loses then they lose the series. It willl be very sad for Indian cricket fans. India won the test series but now they are now facing defeat in ODI series. I am giving here a preview of the 5th ODI and everything you want to know.

England strength of batting, bowling and fielding
If you see the fourth ODI match live then you surely knows the match result. England has defeated India in their fourth ODI match and has taken 3-1 lead. More three matches are left. England just now need only one ODI match win from the three-match to win the series. But it has become tough for Indian because they need win in every match to win the series.
England team is developing day by day. Before the ODI series England had a lack of good opening pair. Now, they already got a good opening pair who can continue their play long time and make a big partnership. England is best for their middle order batsmen. And most of the time we see middle order batsmen go throw being huge pressure. Kevin Pietersen, Paul Collingwood and Bopara are best for middle order position. Ian Bell has come back with his full strength in this series. And he is the highest run scorer till now. England top order batsmen are continuously doing well. And opposite bowlers can’t dominate over English batsmen. In their fourth ODI where we saw England batsmen to continue their batting after falling top seven wickets. It was amazing. In this situation, where opposite teams prepare for defeat there English lower order batsmen were so hopeful to get win. And they succeed their hard batting reaching the win score.
England is so balanced team. They are best in all side. England is playing many new bowlers those who haven’t any experienced to play more international match. Then they are best in their job. Tremlett, Ryan Sidebottom and Broad are new face in England team. They are showing their talent against India team. English all rounder Flintoff also the list of this squad. Now, these all rounder is also in form.
If you saw the fourth ODI match then you see some tremendous catch what collapse India in a low score. If England players missed these catch then the match could turn in other side. These catch was not so easy. England showed their tight fielding. And they saved some sure boundaries. As a result India devoid of some boundaries what could increase their score. Ian Bell caught the most difficult and important catch of Ganguly.
Bowling strength of Indian team
I hope everybody admit that Indian batsmen are best. And it is also thought that India never lack of good batsmen. And many times we see, India fill up their weak side with a good batsmen. But it does not mean that India has no good bowlers. India is best for their spin bowlers. And we can see many famous spin bowlers are Indian. English best spin bowler Monty Panesar is also Indian origin. Till now, India can’t make any good pace bowler. With this sentence I don’t want to say that Indian pace bowlers who are plying in team are bad. But it is true that they can’t dominate over the opponent batsmen. Day is not same for all. Indian batsmen always can’t prevent their team.
In Test series, Indian bowlers were so shiny. And for their best bowling India could defeat England team by 1-0 in England soil after 21 years. Now, India is playing seven-match ODI series. Four ODI match have been finish where England has got 3 win. India’s bowling shocked me. Bowling was not so more to bowlers. In their first ODI, bowlers couldn’t make any resist against England batsmen. As a result, India team had to lose. But India came back in the series after getting win in their second ODI. Because of good batting of opening pair and aggressive hitting helped India to get win. 4th ODI was not different than previous match. In this match, Indian bowlers started their job nicely. And they also fall England in a pressure taking some top wickets quickly. But middle order batsmen took the batting helm and continue their batting until they got win.
Who is most responsible for India’s bad and poor bowling line up? Many expert bowlers like Harbhajan Singh, Irfan Pathan, Anil Kumble are left-out from Indian cricket. And new bowlers can’t fill this gap. That is why turn India in a law place. Batting is not only important for any team but also bowling is needed to get win. So, I hope, India should think more about their bowling line up.
Fielding of Indian team
India is stay in danger line. Now, Indian team has lost their 4th ODI to. Top order batsmen again failed to make any protest. Then fans of both teams enjoyed this match as last time India made the match most exciting and interesting where both teams had 50% possibility to get win. But last three overs England team make sure their match win. Some cricket fans think; India’s bad fielding is more responsible for their defeat. India could not make any big score but obviously it was chasing target. And we also saw that England team had to lose their 7 top wickets in their way of victory. Indian bowlers were likely come back and they also proved their best but at last they failed.
In slip point, if Sachin didn’t miss the catch of Bell then surely they could create pressure to England team. Bell had been out but he did his work before return back to the pavilion. Some miss fielding also suffer Indian cricket team. Now, India is in a huge pressure. If they want to get the series win then they have to get win in all matches. And they also give more priority in their fielding with batting. India need 3 win for series win on the other hand England need only 1. In this situation, any strong team also falls in a big trouble. Can India come back in this series and get series win in England soil?
I hope so. But it is difficult to say. And we only can see the other matches to see India’s batting and fielding as they have no good bowlers who can snatch win showing his best bowling.
Batting problem of Indian team
Indian cricket team is famous for their strong batting line up. Indian cricket team has many veteran batsmen like Sachin, Sourav and Dravid. Day by day much new cricket sensation is coming. MS Dhoni is the most shini name among all new comers. Now And cricket experts think India never lack of good batsmen. Then their best players also fail to protect their team in their team’s need. And for this, they have been criticized and sometimes selectors left-out them for some matches. Indian batting trio Sachin, Sourva and skipper R Dravid always can’t make their best play and can’t take the helm of batting side.
What is the main problem of Indian cricket team? India defeat South Africa in the same player where top order batsmen did well. But the same players in India team in top order position can’t continue their best playing against England team. I think, the main problem of Indian team is their lack of continuous performance and fragile opening pair. India’s middle order batsmen are more praise worthy but these batsmen also failed to play big innings except Yuvraj Singh. In the first ODI Indian lost against England but they came back the series 1-1 defeat England in the second ODI. But unfortunately they lost in the third match by 42 runs where Indian top order batsmen were failed to show their natural play. However, many times Indian team’s showed how to come back from danger. And again they prove it after bounce back with the 4th ODI series defeating England. Indian bowlers Agit Agarkar helped his team to protect but failed. And again we saw the repeat of India's lost in 4th ODI also.
India’s batting failed to satisfy their fans. Now, again they have to fall the most discussed question about their ability of match winnings out side the Indian subcontinent. And Indian most sensation player MS Dhoni who selected as captain in the inaugural Twenty20 world cup, can’t play his natural and aggressive play what made him famous to his fans. At the end of this post we can say that Indian team is depend of top 6 batsmen. If these batsmen failed to play big innings or make big innings then India can’t get win or they can play their natural game then no one can defeat Indian cricket team. As a result top 6 batsmen have to play with huge pressure. So, I think, Indian selectors and manager should think something new about Indian team.
Leeds: The Venue of 5th ODI
If you have any idea about cricket then surely you have heard the name of Leeds. Leeds is the most famous cricket ground in England. Most of the cricket match takes place in this ground. This play ground established at 1899.
After establish, this play ground has been opened for all. Many teams have recorded in this play ground. And still strong teams are making many records. Test cricket started playing in this ground after hundred years and it had come from Headingley. Leeds has many notable records.
This play ground has been named after a suburb of the city of Leeds. And it is linked to rugby league ground. This play ground contains 14000 people.
Unusually, there is no pavilion at Headingley; players have to make do with a modern dressing-room square of the wicket. The wicket is variable, and - particularly when there is cloud cover, too - aids seam bowling. There is not enough floodlight facilities. So, organizers always select this ground for Test match. And for this, many records are involved with Test match and Test cricket players.
I have described more about this pitch as India will face England in their 5th ODI in their seven-match ODI series. Fans of Indian team thinks, India will bounce back with this match in this series. Is this ever possible? Can India team make any record in this ground?
