ENG vs IND My11Circle Prediction Picks
According to our ENG vs IND My11Circle team prediction, the Indian skipper and one of the best ODI batsmen in the world, Shubman Gill, will be an ideal captaincy candidate for the 2nd ODI, as he is coming off an impressive knock in the 1st match. Meanwhile, the English skipper can also be considered for captaincy, but he will be a slightly risky pick due to his ultra-aggressive strokeplay.

ENG vs IND My11Circle Win Prediction
The second ODI at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, is expected to be a closely fought contest, but India holds a slight advantage based on their recent performances. The visitors have regained confidence after suffering a 4-0 defeat in the T20I series and made an impressive start to the ODI leg by securing a comfortable six-wicket win in the series opener.
Their bowling unit showed great discipline after England's strong opening stand, with Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, and the rest of the attack picking up timely wickets to restrict the hosts. India also looked solid with the bat, as captain Shubman Gill led from the front before Axar Patel and Washington Sundar completed the chase with an unbeaten partnership.
England still has match-winners like Joe Root, Harry Brook, and Jofra Archer, who can turn the game around on their day, but their lack of consistency with the ball in the first ODI exposed a few weaknesses.
