Eng opt to bowl; India unchanged

India have opted to play with the same team which beat New Zealand, which means that there is no place for Ravichandran Ashwin.

India have included three fast bowlers and two spinners in Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav.

Defeat will knock out England

Welcome to the coverage of the World Cup 2023 match between India and England in Lucknow on Sunday.

India and England have played with contrasting approaches in the World Cup so far, producing contrasting results. India are on course to top the league stage while England are looking to survive in the tournament they won four years ago.

The Rohit Sharma-led side has hardly put a foot wrong, having chased successfully for five games in a row.

England set the benchmark in white-ball cricket with their aggressive style of play, resulting in global triumphs in both the shorter formats.

However, the boom or bust approach has clearly not worked in Indian conditions and the defending champions find themselves on the brink of an embarrassing exit.

Compared to England, India have very little to worry about though they will be missing the all-round services of Hardik Pandya for at least the next couple of games.

In the usual scenario, Ravichandran Ashwin would have replaced Shardul Thakur on a pitch that is likely to assist the spinners. However, Hardik's absence forces the team management to play only five bowlers.

Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja walk into the combination for Sunday's game.

To accommodate Ashwin as the third spinner, India will have to choose between Mohammad Siraj and Mohammed Shami, who asserted his world-class credentials with five wickets in Dharamsala.

In Hardik's absence, Suryakumar Yadav is the team's choice at number six. Following an unfortunate run-out in his first game of the competition, he will be itching to make an impact.

The chatter on Shreyas Iyer's perpetual struggles against the short-ball has resumed following his dismissal in Dharamsala. He will be fired up to prove his doubters wrong.

Shubman Gill, who missed the first couple of games due to dengue, is due for a special knock. The Lucknow crowd could also witness a record-equalling 49th hundred from Virat Kohli.

Wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who is from Uttar Pradesh, will be looking to fox the England batters at the state-of-the-art stadium. It was a good test for him against the rampaging Daryl Mitchell and he will be ready for the England challenge.
