ENG vs IND Match Preview

England made a mistake with the toss in the second Test. Stokes and McCullum were expected to chase down anything between 300 and 400 in the fourth innings. They failed to account for India's batting strength and their possible score in the first innings. England is far behind in the competition, especially in bowling. Akash Deep's 10-fer turned the game on and succeeded in putting the visitors in control. Mohammad Siraj has been living in Jasprit Bumrah's shadow for far too long. He was additionally unlucky in the first Test, missing the outside edge several times. Siraj has posed a significant threat to England's batting lineup and is going to keep doing so in this match.

ENG vs IND Probable Winners:

Archer's return would strengthen England's bowling attack, but Jasprit Bumrah appears to pose a greater threat to the hosts. India has managed to prevent Stokes from scoring runs, giving the visitors a significant advantage. The lack of experience in England's bowling lineup, combined with India's current bowling form and Bumrah's return, slightly tips the scales in India's favor. India will start as the favorite in our match prediction. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
