Ben Duckett Shines With Good Century In ENG vs IND third ODI
After winning the toss, England selected to bat first within the third ODI and got off to a dominant start through openers Jacob Bethell and Ben Duckett. The duo placed on 192 runs from 181 balls for the opening wicket before Prasidh Krishna broke the partnership within the thirty first over by dismissing Bethell for 91 off 93 deliveries, an innings featuring 11 fours and two sixes.
Duckett, meanwhile, continued to anchor the innings, scoring a record-breaking 141 off 135 balls. The left-handed opener dominated the Indian bowlers with fluent stroke play throughout his stay on the crease. His knock, which included 18 fours and a six, became the very best individual ODI rating at Lord’s.
Joe Root also impressed with an unbeaten 74 off 48 balls, striking nine fours, while Jos Buttler provided a late flourish with an unbeaten 41 off just 13 deliveries, including 4 fours and three sixes, helping England post a formidable 387/3 of their 50 overs.
