In today’s clash of the ongoing ODI World Cup, two teams with contrasting fortunes will meet at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. England’s disastrous run so far has left the defending champions on the brink of premature elimination, despite their pre-tournament status as favourites. Following a humiliating defeat at the hands of Sri Lanka, Jos Buttler’s men face a daunting task against hosts India, the team to beat. Rohit Sharma’s Team India has been in scintillating form, winning all five of their opening encounters, and today’s match could be a mismatch.
However, this England team has been a strong force for close to a decade and India can afford to take them lightly at their own peril. With their pride on the line, they will be determined to salvage their campaign and deliver a noteworthy performance against India. On the other hand, India is sitting comfortably at the top of the table and will be looking to use this match to iron out any wrinkles in their armour before the knockout stages.
Weather Report
Lucknow Weather
The skies over Lucknow are expected to remain clear and dry today, according to weather.com. There is a 0% chance of rain in the afternoon, 1% in the evening and 3% at night which suggests that we should be in for a full 100 over the game without any interruptions. When these two teams met at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati for a warm-up fixture, not even a single ball could be bowled owing to inclement weather conditions. As such, the weather forecast for today’s game will delight fans, experts and players alike.
Team Combinations
India is likely to field the same 11 which defeated New Zealand in Dharamsala as Hardik Pandya is still recovering from his ankle injury. England on the other hand are yet to figure out their best 11 and we could see them make changes today as well. Brydon Carse, who came into their squad as a replacement for Reece Topley is the only member who is yet to get a game but that could change today.
