Team India Strengths

India’s top-order batsmen, Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli, are in excellent form. In addition, India’s middle-order batsmen, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul, have consistently contributed when the team required them.

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who came to the rescue against New Zealand, shows promise for India.
Furthermore, bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav have been delivering with great accuracy, consistently taking wickets.

Mohammad Shami’s exceptional performance, where he took a 5-wicket haul in his first match of the World Cup, has provided a significant boost to India’s bowling unit, particularly in the absence of Hardik Pandya.

Setback for India

Hardik Pandya is unavailable for the team until November 5, which is a significant setback for India. Surya Kumar Yadav, who replaced Hardik Pandya, did not perform well in the last match and was run out.

Team England Strengths

Opening pair Jonny Bairstow and Dawid Malan are getting good starts. It is a positive sign for England. Hopefully, they will carry their partnership more to get high scores.

Most of the batsmen are very aggressive in nature. If they click on their day then they can pose a threat to any opponents.

Setback for England

England has been unable to bat for the full 50 overs, experiencing all-out situations within 40 overs three times in their five matches. Additionally, England’s bowlers have not been performing up to their full potential.

India vs England Match Prediction

India is the clear favourite to win the game, primarily due to their recent form. England’s aggressive approach has not proven beneficial in this tournament, and their opening batsmen have been unable to capitalize on their starts.

Furthermore, the middle order is not in great form. Therefore, based on predictions, it is hopeful that India will emerge victorious in this match. According to Google’s win probability, India has a 66% chance of winning the game.
