IND vs ENG Toss Prediction

• In this match between India and England, the captain winning the toss is likely to opt to bowl first, considering the last 5 match trends.

• On this ground, three out of the last five matches have been won by the chasing side.

• In the second innings, the Dew factor plays a significant role. Dew makes it hard for bowlers to grip the ball, which in turn makes batting easier.
