Kennington Oval London ODI records and stats: The Oval will be hosting an ODI after just over 12 months today.

The first ODI of India’s tour of England 2022 will begin at The Oval in a few hours from now. The first of the three ODIs will be followed by second and third ODI on Thursday and Sunday respectively.

Having last hosted an international match in the form of an England-India Test some 10 months ago, The Oval will be hosting an ODI after around 12 months. England, who have played 49 out of the 74 ODIs played here, have an impressive record on the back of winning 30 and losing 17 matches.

India, on the other hand, have won six and lost nine out of their 16 ODIs played at this venue. While India have played ODIs in ICC tournaments at The Oval lately, their last ODI against England at this venue dates back to 2011 when all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja (78 and 2/42) had won his first ODI Player of the Match award away from home albeit in a losing cause.
