Team	Last Five Matches
India	W, W, L, W, W
England	L, L, W, L, W

India

Key Player: Tilak Verma has shown solid form, playing a steady role to anchor the innings with the ability to accelerate as required.

Strengths: Deep batting with auxiliary all-rounders and a good variety of spin options.

Weaknesses: Pace bowlers work inconsistently sometimes, especially towards the end of the innings.

England

Key Player: Jos Buttler comes in at No. 3 and brings experience and explosive attacking onto the team.

Strengths: Attacking batting strategy against a thunderous pace attack with Mark Wood, and Jofra Archer.

Weaknesses: Fairly susceptible to quality spin and does not do well on subcontinental pitches.

Match Predictions

India has an advantage considering their good form of late, as well as the home advantage. However, under the stand-in captaincy of Brendon McCullum, England has always been an aggressive side prepared to put up a good fight. It is conceivable that a very tough match is in store, with India holding the mere edge.

Weather and Pitch Form

The weather condition on January 28 in MCA stadium is relatively sunny and very warm enhancements with a high maybe of 90°F (32°C) and a low of 59°F (15°C). Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium has been such a prolific venue for batsmen everywhere in the long run with consistent bounce and carry. As the game keeps progressing, spinners might come into play looking for assistance; hence, strategy becomes very critical through the middle overs.

Betting Tips and Odds

Top Bat: Suryakumar Yadav is getting on the ball nicely because of his current good form to play against spinners and pacers.
Top Bowl: Tailored to test the batting lineup as an utterly threatening proposition, Chahal’s leg-spin gets better into the right spot of a very vulnerable English batting.
Result: While favourites, opposition England is leaning heavily on an explosive display or two.
