Should be a good match between two capable, in-form teams.

 

[silentstriker]

I had this circled in my mind pre-tournament as potentially the biggest match for India.


If India win this, they basically guarantee themselves a semi spot so hopefully they don't take it easy. On the other hand, if Pandya needs more time to recover, I would rest him for another couple games until next week.

Ind to take revenge for last year

 

[Qlder]

Is this even worth watching?

Nah. Best team of the tournament vs the worst.

England has very little to lose at this point and will be a dangerous opponent if they just free-wheel it…they are quite capable of beating us, really hoping the team doesn’t come in complacent.

Already is pretty much guaranteed.

Already is pretty much guaranteed.

Pretty much guaranteed is how I've lost a lot of money over the years. There's the grand canyon between 'pretty much guaranteed' and 'guaranteed'.

At 12 points, India just need one more result in another match to go their way and they should be in prior to their next match.

 

[R!TTER]

Why are we penned in for semi at Wankhede only? Eden clearly suits us better

Yeah, but it's really not a grand canyon in this instance.

 

[White Ball]

Not taking this as a given, England have nothing to lose, but yes if we lose to England given all we have seen it would be a shocking result

 

[GIMH]

Cbf to think about what team i would pick but I’d play Brook, Atkinson and Carse

[Aidan11]

England's best strategy here is to hide in the toilet until the game is over.

 

[Sunil1z]

England will come very hard at India in this game. Their pride has been hurt.

Player for player, England have as much talent as anyone. I’m a little bewildered how poorly they’ve played but a whole bunch of them are capable of pretty much single-handedly dominating a game against anyone.

Malan, Stokes, Root, Brook, Buttler, Livingstone, Ali, Carse, Atkinson, Rashid, couldn't care less about the third seamer....or the game tbh

 

[loterry1994]

Honestly I’d bring all the new guys and give them a go. Half this team won’t even make the next World Cup anyway.

More than half I’d say

Outside chance Root is still there. Maybe Jos. Of the rest of the over 30s there’s only Livingstone who I would say is even possible.
