India are 2nd in the points tally after Friday’s match between South Africa and Pakistan, while England are 2nd from bottom. That is enough to indicate how contrasting the two teams’ fortunes have been. I am putting my money on India continuing their juggernaut with a win.

India have won 12 of their last 16 home matches against England (ODIs)
India have won 3 of their last 4 matches against England (ODIs)
England have lost 5 of their last 6 matches played in India (ODIs)
Ravindra Jadeja has taken 2+ wickets in 4 of his last 7 matches against England played in India (ODIs)

Head to Head

India played England in 106 ODIs so far with 57 wins and 44 defeats. Of the remaining matches, two ended in a tie while three had no result.

The last time these sides played was back in July 2022 when India won the series 2-1.

India Form

After Friday’s match that saw a pulsating South African win, India moved down to 2nd spot with ten points from five matches. Their victories have come against Australia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh and New Zealand.

It is the Kohli – Rohit show with the bat for India, as the veteran duo has aggregated more than 300 runs in the tournament. Shreyas Iyer’s inconsistencies are a worry.

The Indian bowlers have hunted in packs and are reaping rewards. Jasprit Bumrah has 11 wickets while Kuldeep Yadav has eight to his name so far.

India Team News

India will likely miss Hardik Pandya for one more game with the all-rounder yet to get match fit. If the management feels Siraj is not up to the mark, he could be replaced by Shardul Thakur.

England Form

England are 9th in the points tally after Friday’s match with two points from five matches. They won against Bangladesh but were defeated by New Zealand, Afghanistan, South Africa and Sri Lanka.

Batters have failed miserably for the defending champions. Only Dawid Malan has aggregated more than 200 runs for them. With a lot of uncertainty over team selections, England are all over the place in this World Cup.

Bowling also falls under the same bracket with no one taking more than Adil Rashid’s six wickets; this after their best bowler Reece Topley (eight) hobbled off the tournament with an injury.

England could once again shuffle their pack with Brydon Carse – injury replacement for Topley – likely to be drafted straight into the XI. There’s a case for Sam Curran to sneak back in too, at the expense of Chris Woakes.

Verdict
