India v England, 5th ODI: Preview

India and England go head to head in the 5th ODI against England at Cuttack with the hosts already having secured a series win with wins in the first four matches of the series. This will be their bid to make it an embarrassing 5-0 over the visitors who will be trying their best to win just their first match of the series.

Both teams are set to make plenty of changes to their sides. While England will be searching for balance ahead of the test series, they will also give their best to restore some pride to the team. Owais Shah maybe dropped down the order as skipper Pieterson might come at number three once again. But there are a couple of definitive changes for them as Ian Bell and James Anderson will be dropped after unimpressive performances in the last few matches. Alistair Cook is set to open with Ravi Bopara and Steve Harmison will come in place of Pathan.

India too will go in for some changes though skipper Dhoni doesn’t want a let up in the intensity of the team as he wants to win 7-0. Virat Kohli, Irfan Pathan and Pragyan Ojha will be looking to get a game this time around in a bid to impress the selectors into retaining them especially since the team for the last two ODIs will be selected after the match tomorrow.
