IND vs ENG ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Cricket World Cup 2023
Match 29 of the 2023 Cricket World Cup sees India take on England in Lucknow on Sunday. It was not long ago when these two teams were considered rivals for this World Cup title but they have had contrasting campaigns up to this point. India are unbeaten with five wins from five and they beat New Zealand in their last game by 4 wickets with 12 balls remaining. England already look resigned to not making the top four after losing four of their first five matches including defeats in their last three games to Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and South Africa by 229 runs. Read on as we preview this match. The game begins at the BRSABVE Cricket Stadium at 14:00 local time.
Although they were hotly tipped as favourites for the tournament, very few people expected India to be as dominant as they have been so far in the competition. Playing against an underperforming and low on confidence England side, it is very hard to see India struggling in Lucknow.
England have been so disappointing throughout this tournament that the team is almost unrecognisable in spirit to the one who won the 2019 Cricket World Cup and won the 2022 T20 World Cup last year. They will put in a more disciplined showing in this match but it will be extremely tough to challenge India.

IND vs ENG Match Toss Prediction
The last two matches in the 2023 Cricket World Cup to be played in Lucknow have been won by the team batting second so we predict that both teams will want to field first ahead of this game.
IND vs ENG Pitch Report
The Ekana Cricket Stadium will have a quick outfield which is good news for the batters. Expect good pace from the wicket but also some turn for the spinners.
Spinners will come into action in the latter part of the match. The chasing team needs to be careful of the spin bowling to chase the target successfully. The 1st innings average score will be around 245 and the par score will be around 280.
Lucknow Weather Report
Although the temperature is likely to be around or above 30 degrees throughout this game, there will be plenty of cloud cover and humidity levels are not expected to be high in Lucknow.

India Team News
Hardik Pandya continues to recover from his ankle injury but it has been confirmed that he will not be available for this game. The lack of the all-rounder saw Mohammed Shami come in for Shardul Thakur with Pandya’s place taken by the extra batter Suryakumar Yadav.
India Team Key Players
- Virat Kohli- ahead of Saturday’s games, only Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram had scored more runs in the Cricket World Cup 2023. He struck another eight fours and two sixes against New Zealand.
- Rohit Sharma- the skipper is continuing to score his runs at a strong strike-rate and he hit another eight boundaries in his 40-ball innings in the last game. He is playing brilliant attacking cricket at the moment.

- Mohammed Shami- the right-arm fast medium bowler showed his class with wickets across the innings in Match 21. He has now taken nine 5-wicket hauls in international cricket.
- Kuldeep Yadav- the left-arm wrist spinner was the most expensive of India’s bowlers against the Black Caps but he still picked up two crucial wickets in Tom Latham and Glenn Phillips.
- Ravindra Jadeja - Jadeja got the opportunity to bat in the last match and he scored crucial 39 off 44 deliveries. With the ball he has picked 7 wickets in 5 matches. We are backing him as a key all-rounder for this match. Jadeja has taken 38 wickets in 25 ODIs against England.

England Team News & Playing 11
England Team News
Off the back of their huge defeat to South Africa last Saturday, England chose to make three changes to their team for the second successive game. That meant no place for Gus Atkinson and Harry Brook, the two youngest players in the squad, who are likely to be the future of the team. There are no new injuries in the side.
England Team Key Players
- Ben Stokes- the experienced left-hander has gone past fifty on 22 occasions in ODI cricket and converted four of those innings into centuries. He is a superstar player and England need a big performance in this match.
- Dawid Malan- the opener has been one of a number of players who have under-performed for England in the tournament but he does still average 57.54 in ODIs and hit 140 three innings ago.
- Joe Root - Joe Root has scored 175 runs in 5 matches so far at an average of 35.00. We are backing him to score a good knock in this match. In the ODI format, Joe Root has an average of 46.18 against India and of 47.00 on Indian pitches.

- David Willey- the left-arm bowling all-rounder has come into the team for the last two games and showed plenty of fight. He is always good for lower order runs and he took 2-30 against Sri Lanka with the ball.
- Adil Rashid- the experienced leg-spinner is likely to move on from ODI cricket at the end of this tournament. He took 3-42 against Afghanistan earlier in the month and he would love to produce the goods against India in this match.

India vs England Betting Odds

Who will win India vs England ODI Match?
Some of England’s players have won all of the big trophies in cricket and have had brilliant careers but it is India who have the players in form and who are picking up the victories at the moment.
🏆 India vs England Prediction
In spite of the ‘giant-killings’ we have seen already in the 2023 Cricket World Cup, based on their poor form in the tournament, if England were to beat India, it would be up there as a real shock for most cricket experts. England are nowhere near the same confident team who backed themselves to hit any score on any pitch and the fact that they have changed three players in their team in each of the last two matches shows how unsure of their approach they are. India, on the other hand, have been unstoppable and we expect them to win this match comfortably.
