India beat 2019 runners-up New Zealand by four wickets at Dharamsala in their last match. England, on the other hand, are in a precarious position in their title defence.

Table-toppers India will look to add to their winning streak of five matches when they take on a struggling England in Lucknow. Following their impressive victory over New Zealand, India are expected to seal a comfortable win over the English team on Sunday, virtually securing their place in the knockouts. On the other hand, England find themselves in a must-win situation. The Jos Buttler-captained side will be well aware of the fact that it's not just a win they need, but a convincing one to improve their low net run-rate. The English team currently occupies the ninth position in the 10-team competition, with a total of two points from five matches.
England batters, who have failed miserably in the World Cup so far, need to read situations better as their team looks to bounce back from the brink, hinted assistant coach Marcus Trescothick on Saturday. England's all out approach with the bat has backfired in Indian conditions including at venues like Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, where other teams have piled on the runs. Ahead of the game against India, Trescothick was asked about the team's batting tempo and frequent collapses in the tournament. "We have an attitude to how we've gone about batting in the last however many years since our white-ball cricket has changed and evolved. And it's always trying to be positive," said the former England opener.
