What should be an ideal target for Team India at Lords? – Inside Sport India

For the very first time in the current IND vs scary series, the home team chose for the first time after winning the Worp. That meant that India should chase on the Lord’s field that one or two trick could play. Currently, during lunch on day 4, the hosts lead with 98 and four wickets are lower. So the question will certainly arise, what would be an ideal target for Team India?

Historically at Lord

The truth is told, India would like their chances, with everything younger than 300. But then they also have to realize, there is a Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Jamie Smith that stands between that dream. That said, InsideSport also looks a look at the last 5 scores managed by teams of Lord’s, fourth battle.

In the final of the world test championships, South Africa 282 pursued for the loss of five wickets. Then, in 2024, the Sri Lankan team managed 292 in the last innings, trying to chase 483 and lost with 190 runs. In the competition before that, England faced the West -Indies in July 2024 and the competition did not reach the fourth innings. Wi lost due to an innovation and 114 points.

Shubman Gill would be satisfied with …

If we go further back, in Ashes 2023, Australia won the match with 43 runs, because England set a target of 371 runs. They were bundled for 327, even though Ben Stokes scored 155. And finally, in the meeting between June 2023 between England and Ireland, the hosts were a goal of 11 and won with 10 wickets.

So, under that record, younger than 300 is the figure where the Shubman Gill & Co. must look at. Everything outside 350 will be difficult, and maybe impossible to get. 300 would also be the target that the Indians would keep in the chase, and therefore could go on the last day before the runs. Again, that is so far reached scary.

One of the factors in the pursuit would be the suitability of RISHABH Pant. He feeds a finger injury and was not the most comfortable in his innings of 74. So the bowlers have a clear job on their hand.
