ODI World Cup 2023: Warm-Up Match 4, India vs England Match Prediction – Who will win today's match between IND and ENG?
The match will be played in Guwahati.
India’s (IND) road to title No. 3 begins on September 30 with a warm-up game against defending champions England (ENG) at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. The Men in Blue recently won the three-match ODI series against Australia and, hence, will be confident of their chances, but there are a lot of things that the team needs to sort out at the moment.
Against a high-class pace unit, the Rohit Sharma-led side has suffered in recent times, and the same pattern was noticed in the third ODI against Australia. On top of that, spinners, too, have troubled them in the recent past. Thus, batters have a lot of room for improvement at the moment.
The bowlers will be under some sort of pressure as the Three Lions love to play an aggressive brand of cricket. India’s combination needs to be seen as there’s a constant debate between Shardul Thakur and Mohammed Shami. Ravichandran Ashwin’s impact against a strong side will be observed closely. For England, there’s nothing much to worry about as they have multiple match-winners in the XI.
