England are ranked number one and began this tournament as the favourites to win the ICC World Cup. However, they have lost three matches already, including the last two and are in danger of failing to reach the semi-finals. Their batting line-up had been consistenly scoring totals of well over 300 but recent games has seen them lose that ability. The loss of Jason Roy has been a big blow for them but they just don't seem to be firing on all cylinders at present. Johnny Bairstow is vulnerable early on and James Vince is continuing his poor impression of being an international level batsman. Their fielding leaves a bit to desire as well and failure to finish in the top four is a distinct possibility with this game against India and a final game against New Zealand to come.

India have played six games and won all five of the ones that saw some play. Their most recent game was a comprehensive victory over the West Indies beating them by 125 runs. With three games to go, they are already almost certain to qualify for the last four. They have a strong batting line-up with Sharma and Kohli (72 v the West Indies) both in good form and a bowling line-up that is making it difficult for all their opponents. The Indian side is clearly in better form than their opponents who will be feeling the pressure to get a win here. Go for India to get the victory.
