Wankhede Stadium is expected to produce a good batting deck. The ball comes nicely onto the bat with good bounce, and the pace is also good here. The boundaries here are not big, and it will invite the batters to go big. In the later stages, there will be dew as well, making it hard and difficult.

IND vs ENG: Player to Watch Out For

Probable Best Batter

Sanju Samson has been in great form and is coming off probably the best knock of his international career. He has looked more mature and is scoring runs against good bowlers. For England, captain Harry Brook will be key. He has scored the most runs for England and played spin well.

Probable Best Bowler

Jasprit Bumrah will be key for India, because the wicket is likely to be flat, and he can take wickets on any surface. For England, Adil Rashid can be handy. He is experienced and is taking wickets in this tournament.

Today Match Prediction: The team that bats second will have an edge. But India will have a slight edge because of their bowling unit. England have not had their best game, while India have shown good form in recent matches. Hence, we predict India to win.
