IND-C vs ENG-C Team Previews

India Champions

India Champions will be very disappointed with the outcome of their latest fixture against Australia, where they were defeated in the very last over. As a result, they remain winless and are placed at the bottom of the table.

Robin Uthappa and Shikhar Dhawan gave the team a solid start on Saturday and will look to do the same in this match as well. Shikhar Dhawan appeared to be in particularly good form as he slammed 91 runs in just 60 balls. The middle order consists of Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, and Yusuf Pathan, all of whom are capable of playing the big shots.

However, barring Yusuf Pathan, none of them have been able to make an impact with the bat. India also has a couple of all-rounders in the form of Irfan Pathan and Harbhajan Singh, lower down the order.

Coming to the bowling, Piyush Chawla is the team’s best bowler so far with 5 wickets. He will lead the spin department and will be supported by Harbhajan Singh. The seam attack consists of Siddharth Kaul, Vinay Kumar, and Irfan Pathan. However, they have been quite expensive.

India Champions Expected Playing 11

Robin Uthappa (WK), Shikhar Dhawan, Yuvraj Singh (C), Suresh Raina, Yusuf Pathan, Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Piyush Chawla, Siddharth Kaul, Vinay Kumar, Ambati Rayudu

England Champions

Just like their opponents for this match, England is winless after 4 games and is on the verge of elimination from the tournament. They have only one point against their name, thanks to a washed-out match, and are a step above India on the table, thanks to a better NRR.

Phil Mustard and Ravi Bopara are likely to open the batting for England. Mustard has been the team’s most consistent batsman in this series, and the team will bank on him to give them a good start. The middle order has proved to be a weak link for England. Barring Eoin Morgan, the team lacks experienced batsmen who can stay till the death overs and help the team score runs towards the end.

While they do have a couple of all-rounders like Samit Patel and Moeen Ali, they have been a bit inconsistent. England has a seam-heavy bowling attack that will be headlined by Stuart Meaker and Ajmal Shahzad.

They have picked up 8 wickets between them and have been pretty economical as well. However, the likes of Liam Plunkett and Dimitri Mascarenhas haven’t been able to put enough pressure from the other end. The spin attack also appears to be pretty thin.

IND-C vs ENG-C Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch at Headingley is usually good to bat on. The surface is flat and hard, offering excellent pace and bounce, allowing the batsmen to play their shots with ease. The team batting first will look to score around 200 runs. That said, there is some grass on the surface, allowing the quicker bowlers to get some movement with the new ball.

However, they will have to be disciplined with their line and length, as any loose deliveries will be punished. The weather is likely to remain overcast, and we may see some stray showers throughout the day.

IND-C vs ENG-C: Who Will Win?

Both teams have been rather inconsistent this year and will be eager to turn things around. While there is no clear favorite, we feel India has a better chance of winning here thanks to a stronger middle order and a well-balanced bowling unit.

Bet on the India Champions to win this match.

IND-C vs ENG-C win percentage stands at 69% in favor of IND-C.
