England vs India, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, Today Match Prediction 30 Jun 2019

eng vs ind Match Prediction & Analysis

India Vs England is one of the marquee clashes in the 2019 World Cup and they are the top two ranked teams in ICC rankings. India is the only undefeated team in the CWC 2019 so far and is on the verge of qualification for semi-finals.  Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are in fine form notching up runs in every match. They both have been the main pillars of India`s batting order in the absence of Shikhar Dhawan. Rahul is not converting his starts into big scores and he will look to make it count in this match. MS Dhoni and Hardik Pandya played a game-changing partnership last match and they both will remain vital cog of the middle order.

Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah are the best pace bowling pair in this world cup so far. They are troubling batsmen with their probing line and length, pace and swing. Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav have built on the pressure developed by the pace bowlers to rattle the opposition batting line-up. Team India has the best bowling line-up in the 2019 World Cup with a lot of attacking options. Vijay Shankar may be given one last chance before Dinesh Karthik or Rishab pant replace him. 

England came to the 2019 World Cup as hot favorites to win the tournament.  But, they are struggling for a spot in the semi-final after three losses in the league stages so far. England needs to win both their remaining matches to qualify directly or else they need to sneak win after other match results. Jason Roy is expected to be back in the playing XI this match. Joe Root and Ben Stokes have been their standout batsmen the 2019 World Cup racking up the big scores. Skipper Eoin Morgan, Johnny Bairstow, and Jos Buttler have shown glimpses of their brilliance but lack consistency in the batting.

Jofra Archer has been the best bowler in this World Cup with 16 wickets to his name. Mark Wood and Chris Woakes are in a good rhythm and are able to trouble the batsmen regularly. Liam Plunkett might replace Moeen Ali in this match. Adil Rashid will the No.1 spinner for England team and will find a place in the playing XI.

Weather Conditions

Edgbaston is one of the true pitches in England which favors both the pace and spin bowlers. The pitch is expected to help fast bowlers early in the match and spinners might come into play in the second innings. No team is yet to cross the 250-run mark here in the two matches played here so far. The weather on the match day looks clear and sunny with just 10% chances of rain as per the weather forecast.
