England won the toss and invited India to bat first in their sixth World Cup match. The English have no choice but to win today’s match to keep their semi hopes alive.
On the other hand, Team India is flying in the World Cup in their own soil. Rohit-Kohli is on the second place in the points table with wins in all 5 matches. They want to continue that trend against England who are in the circle of loss.
England have won 4 of 8 matches against India in the World Cup so far, while India have won 3 of them. However, India is ahead again in ODI cricket. These two teams have faced each other in 106 ODIs. India has won 57 matches and England has won 44 matches. Both the teams fielded with their same XI.
