PLAYER OF THE MATCH
End is nigh
A brave fight from England, but we think they'll eventually fall short by 30 runs. View Complete Forecast...
Sourabh: "Jacob Bethell is playing a gem and he hasn't allowed the required rate to grow."
Wickets and runs
India continue to chip away, but so do England. The visitors to reach 125 for 5 at the 10-over mark View Complete Forecast...
Ritesh Bhilare: Axar's knack for taking crucial catches in pressure situations is a never ending saga! Baapu, you're an absolute gem on the field.
srujan belde: Hardik is the greatest all rounder in the world right now, he never disappoints. Whether with the bat, ball, or both, he always delivers. What a player!
Ash: Buttler doesn't look comfortable at all.
England to go hard in the powerplay
England will come out all guns blazing. Arshdeep has a good match-up against Salt. With Bumrah likely to bowl at least one over, expect India to restrict England < 65 in the powerplay and pick a couple of wickets. View Complete Forecast...
Viral Rawat: Shivam dube and runouts, what kind of love story it is?
Dinesh : That wicket of Samson's will definitely hurt India's chance of going 250+
Shubham: "What is the highest score chased at Wankhede in a T20I?" -- England chased down 230 against South Africa in the 2016 World Cup.
Massive total
They might have lost Ishan Kishan, but with depth in the batting line-up, India are coasting towards a 235-run score View Complete Forecast...
Rahul Chaddha: "English bowlers struggling to get their line and length right.. They've got to work on that." -- It started right at the start with Archer who was too short. But to be fair, this pitch looks an absolute belter.
Varun: "What is the dew situation in Wankhede? Will it play a pivotal role like the games at Eden?" -- Dew hasn't been a big factor at Wankhede so far.
India to make a big score
Sanju Samson is making England for dropping him early. He's in form and should make a 70+ score. India to go past their 100 in the 11th over. View Complete Forecast...
Arsalan : This pitch looks pretty flat, not much for the bowlers. If you hit the right lengths it might grip a bit, but overall it's a batting-friendly surface and we could see a high score.
Arun NK: Anything less than 220 is going to be very tough to defend on this pitch. England have enough firepower to repeat what the Kiwis did against the Proteas.
Runs in the batting PP
Will Jacks strikes first as England plays the match-ups. India to reach 60 for 1 at the end of the batting powerplay. View Complete Forecast...
A wicket for Jofra
Jofra Archer has a good record against Samson and a bad record against Abhishek Sharma. 8 wickets in the batting PP for England's premier pacer this tournament. We feel he'll take 1 wicket tonight in the batting PP. View Complete Forecast...
