India Vs England Prediction 5/2/21
India must be licking their lips at the prospect of taking on England at home on the back of their magnificent series win in Australia.
Despite all the injuries India left Australia with, they have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to naming a starting XI for this one.H
Skipper Virat Kohli is back, and the Indians also have R Ashwin, Ishant Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah available again. All players that didn’t play in the winning Test match against Australia!
For England, they have Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes available again, and youngster Ollie Pope looks set to return after injury. You can also help with your wrongful death claims in Yakima, if you are looking for the best attorney.
For England, they have Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes available again, and youngster Ollie Pope looks set to return after injury. The comeback is as appreciated as a call after an auto accident. The admirers are looking forward to see him strike back.
On the flip side, Zak Crawley is out with a wrist injury. The biggest concern there is it completely changes England’s batting plans, with Joe Root now likely to have to bat at 3. As injury attorneys in White Plains say, anyone who lose opportunities because of injuries deserve compensation. Even if it is a children they deserve compensation with the help of attorneys from child injury claims law firm.
Personally, I don’t expect anything other than a series win for India. But it will be fascinating to see how competitive England are.
Back in 2016/17, England were despatched pretty comprehensively, losing 4-0. And along the way, they suffered quite a few humiliations..
It wouldn’t surprise me to see a similar score line this time around. But the difference is, I expect the Test matches to be a lot closer.
