Team News

> Hardik Pandya will continue to nurse his ankle injury. India can include Ravichandran Ashwin for this fixture.

> England can make a few changes in their XI which are hard to predict from an outside view. 

Grand League Punts

> Joe Root started the World Cup with two half-centuries but has tapered off with scores of 11, 2 and 3. However, heaverages 46.2 against India with a good record against their spinners. He can be the man that glues England's batting together in this fixture.

> Ashwin may replace Mohammed Shami. Both these players can win you big bucks. England will have two left-handers in their XI, giving him a chance to be among wickets. Meanwhile, Shami has 24 wickets in 13 ODIs this year at 24.3 runs apiece. 

Probable XIs

India: Rohit Sharma ( c ), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj 

England: Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (c/wk), Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, David Willey, Adil Rashid, Gus Atkinson
