Match details
Match 38: England v India
Edgbaston, Birmingham
Venue: Sunday, 30 June
Time: 02:30pm PST, 9:30 am GMT
However, successive defeats to Sri Lanka and Australia have left the hosts needing to win at least one – and potentially both – of their final two matches to reach the semi-finals.
Their task, against an India side who recently usurped Eoin Morgan’s men to reach the summit of the MRF Tyres ICC Men’s ODI Team Rankings, is daunting.
Virat Kohli’s side are unbeaten in the competition so far, having overcome South Africa, Australia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and West Indies, while seeing their contest with New Zealand abandoned due to rain.
What’s more, they boast happy memories of facing England at Edgbaston, having triumphed in the final of the ICC Champions Trophy six years ago.
Weather report
The weather is set fair, with temperatures reaching as high as 25 degrees Celsius.
Pitch report
If Pakistan’s game against New Zealand offers any indication, the pitch should provide plenty of assistance for spin and make a score around 270 competitive. For more latest news Pakistan, visit 9newshd.tv
