The match commences at 02:00 PM IST. India are currently the only unbeaten team in the competition. The Indian cricket team's formidable run in the tournament can be attributed to the splendid form displayed by the batters and some consistent performances by the bowlers in chipping with timely breakthroughs.

The bowling spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah, has been at the forefront of India's five consecutive wins, providing the team an edge with his ability to pick early wickets. Mohammed Shami's outstanding performance with the ball against New Zealand has further strengthened the Indian bowling attack. A victory against England will virtually secure India a spot in the knockouts.
