ENG vs IND My11Circle Prediction: 1st ODI India Tour of England 2026 Fantasy League Strategy, Tips & Team Combinations

The three-match ODI series starts after England completely dominated the T20I series, winning it 4-0. The home team played better in all areas, with Harry Brook leading from the front, while Phil Salt and Jos Buttler scored useful runs throughout the series.

England's bowling unit also kept India under constant pressure, as Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid and Josh Tongue picked up wickets at regular intervals. The visitors will now hope experienced stars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli can help change their fortunes in the ODI format, where India have enjoyed more success, and these stalwarts of the game should be a part of your ENG vs IND My11Circle prediction.

With Shubman Gill expected to give India a solid start and Jasprit Bumrah leading the pace attack, the visitors will be aiming for a better performance. England, however, will carry plenty of confidence into the first ODI after their convincing T20I series win and will look to continue their strong form in Edgbaston, Birmingham.

ENG vs IND My11Circle Win Prediction

The opening ODI is expected to be a close contest, but England have a small edge because they know the home conditions well and have been playing good cricket in recent weeks. Their batting line-up, featuring Harry Brook, Phil Salt, Ben Duckett and Jos Buttler, have looked confident, while bowlers like Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid can make full use of the pitch.

India also has a strong squad with stars such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and Jasprit Bumrah, but losing fast bowler Harshit Rana to a hamstring injury before the series is a major blow and Prince Yadav has been added to the squad.
