India ends England's 12-year home stronghold at Edgbaston with six-wicket win
India secured a six-wicket victory against England in the first ODI at Edgbaston, ending England's 12-year unbeaten streak at the venue. Key performances from Axar Patel and captain Shubman Gill were instrumental in the win.
Why it matters
This victory marks a significant turnaround for the Indian team following a poor T20I series and sets a new record for their longest winning streak against England in ODIs.
India brought an end to England's remarkable 12-year unbeaten run in Men's ODIs at Edgbaston with a convincing six-wicket victory on 1st ODI. India entered the ODI series on the back of a disappointing 4-0 T20I series defeat and were determined to bounce back. The visitors responded in emphatic fashion, ending England's long-standing winning streak at their home ground. England had remained unbeaten in seven consecutive Men's ODIs at Edgbaston since 2015. The last team to defeat them in a 50-over international at the Birmingham venue was also India, who registered a comprehensive nine-wicket victory on September 2, 2014.DateOpponentResultSeptember 2, 2014IndiaLost by 9 wicketsJune 9, 2015New ZealandWon by 210 runsJune 24, 2016Sri LankaWon by 10 wicketsJune 10, 2017AustraliaWon by 40 runs (DLS)June 30, 2019IndiaWon by 31 runsJuly 11, 2019AustraliaWon by 8 wicketsJuly 13, 2021PakistanWon by 3 wicketsMay 29, 2025West IndiesWon by 238 runsJuly 14, 2026IndiaLost by 6 wicketsAdding to the…
