England vs India ICC World Cup 2019 Match Preview: Match Details, Squads, Head to Head Stats and more

Hosts England will clash against Team India for the 100th time in ODIs in the 38th match of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. England will be under tremendous pressure as they need to win their games against India and New Zealand to seal a spot in the semis. Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka would be hoping for an Indian win so that they too have a chance of making it to the next round of the tournament. The return of Jason Roy at the top of the order gives England the much needed stability. They must also hope that the likes of Joe Root, Jos Buttler and Eoin Morgan take control of the middle overs so as to a post a fighting total against the mighty Indian batting line-up.

Meanwhile, India, the only side which is unbeaten in the tournament must need to win one out of its three remaining games to confirm its place in the semis. The major concern for Virat Kohli would be that of the number four position. Vijay Shankar has failed to produce match-winning efforts and it would be interesting to see if Rishabh Pant gets a nod in this crucial encounter. Otherwise, the bowling looks settled with almost every bowler contributing. Also, the pitch at Birmingham is expected to offer some assistance to the spinners and the Indian tweakers would relish this opportunity.
