IND vs ENG 3rd ODI highlights: India wins by 7 runs, clinches series 2-1

In a nail-biting finale of the series, India beat England by 7 runs to win the series 2-1. While England cricket team kept on losing wickets at regular intervals, it was Sam Curran who had different plans. He kept in smashing Indian bowlers all over the park and kept the hopes alive. Dawid Malan hit a valuable maiden 50 to help Sam. However, no other batsman could hang around with him. India's poor fielding helped England. Four catches went down and a couple of run out chances went begging. Sam Curran scored his career-best 95 not out but could not help his team get over the line. With this the long India-England tour comes to an end. India managed to win all the series — Test 3-1, ODI 3-2, T20 2-1.
