Nagpur, Feb. 6 -- A dominant batting display led by Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer helped India clinch a four-wicket victory over England in the first ODI at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium here on Thursday.
Chasing 249 for victory, India lost both openers early but Gill (87 off 96 balls, 14x4s) anchored the chase with a composed knock, while Iyer's blistering 59 off 36 deliveries (9x4s, 2x6s) provided the required acceleration. India eventually reached the target in just 38.4 overs with 11.2 overs to spare.
With this defeat, England's woes in ODIs continued, having now lost seven of the eight matches in which they batted first post the 2023 World Cup.
