The third match of the ongoing three-match ODI series between India and England will take place on Wednesday (February 12). The game is scheduled to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The series has already been decided in India's favour following their win in the second ODI in Cuttack last week. After winning the first ODI by four wickets, India defeated England by a similar margin in the second ODI as well to take an unassailable 2-0 lead.
Batting first for the second game in a row, England posted a competitive total of 304 thanks to half-centuries from Ben Duckett and Joe Root. However, the score did not prove to be a winning total as India chased it down comfortably.
Captain Rohit Sharma led the charge with the bat for India. The veteran batsman roared back to form with a scintillating hundred, smashing 119 runs off just 90 balls with the help of 12 fours and 7 sixes. Shubman Gill scored a fifty too as India chased down the total inside 45 overs. With both the teams now gearing up for the third game, here is the weather and pitch report for the game.

While pitches in India usually favour the spinners more, the pacers could get ample support at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The upcoming game will be the first ODI at the venue since the 2023 World Cup final between India and Australia.
Even in that game, the Pacers had made a bigger impact. Of the 14 wickets that had fallen in that game, 11 wickets had gone to pacers. Even in the other games of the tournament, the pacers had made more impact than the spinners.
The average first innings total at the venue is 243 runs and it won't be surprising if the upcoming game does not see a 300-plus total.
Conclusion:
While the weather report is very promising for the upcoming third IND vs ENG ODI, the game might not be a high-scoring one. Teams have usually struggled to post 300-plus totals consistently at this venue and the upcoming game could also turn out in a similar fashion.
