If England wins tomorrow’s match against India, three teams could benefit and those are Pakistan, Bangladesh and New Zealand. They will be put back on the front foot for semi-final qualification.
But if England is defeated, India would guarantee its top-four spot.
The match will be held at Edgbaston ground where India obviously fears to tread but the pitch will help spinners.
Pressure has been piling up on England and India is having the best bet. Indian bowlers should be relishing.
In last two games England struggled to reach 200 and India could open the wounds further.
