India edges out England by just 7 runs in the final ODI, claiming a dramatic series victory.

India took the three-match ODI series 2–1 after a hard-fought finale. After India was all out for 329 in 48.2 overs, England chased the target but fell short, ending with 322 for 9. The game was decided in the final over where England needed 14 runs; however, Natarajan's disciplined bowling limited them to just 6, sealing the win for the hosts. Sam Curran was the standout performer for England, smashing 9 fours and 3 sixes for an unbeaten 95.

Beyond Curran's effort, England saw contributions from Dawid Malan (50), Livingstone (36), and Ben Stokes (35). India's victory was anchored by Shardul Thakur's 4 wickets and Bhuvneshwar Kumar's 3. This result ends a four-year drought in series wins against England, the last being a home series in 2017, following a defeat in England in 2018.

India's batting strength came from a trio of half-centuries: Rishabh Pant hit 78, Shikhar Dhawan made 67, and Hardik Pandya contributed 66. Supporting them were Rohit Sharma with 37, Shardul Thakur with 30, and Krunal Pandya with 25, though KL Rahul and Virat Kohli struggled, scoring only 7 runs each. On the bowling side, Mark Wood was the most effective for England, picking up 3 wickets.
