Match Prediction- Who Will Win Today’s Match?
England’s home advantage, solid top-order form, and balanced bowling attack make them favourites for this encounter. India, despite having the individual talent, will need a near-perfect performance to overcome their recent inconsistencies. If their young guns fire and the bowling unit executes well, an upset is possible—but unlikely.
