IND vs ENG Toss Factor
Three of the last four T20Is at the Providence Stadium have been won by the team batting first and although both sides will back themselves to win from either position, we predict that both captains will want to bat first ahead of this game.
Scenario: If India win the toss
- India will bat first after winning the toss on this Ground. Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya and Virat Kohli will be the best choices while setting up a huge target for England.
- Bowlers like Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Axar Patel, will be crucial for India to put Australia under early pressure.
Scenario: If England win the toss
- England will bat first too after winning the toss. Jos Buttler, Harry Brook, Phil Salt, Liam Livingstone and Jonny Bairstow will be the best choices while setting-up a big target from the batting side of England.
- Bowlers like Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Chris Jordan, Sam Curran, and Moeen Ali will be crucial for England to put South Africa under early pressure.
IND vs ENG Top Captain and Vice-captain Picks
Scenario: If India Bat First

Rohit Sharma (IND): Rohit Sharma set the tone at the top of the order for India in their last match and hit Australia’s impressive bowling attack for seven fours and eight sixes, which led to 92 runs off 41 balls in the inning. He will be looking forward to playing such innings in this match as well, and he can be a threat to the opposition bowlers while batting first.
Jofra Archer (ENG): The right-arm quick went wicket less in the last game but he is a man for the big occasion and he will relish bowling at the marquee names in the India batting order. So far, he has grabbed 9 wickets in 7 innings.
Scenario: If England Bat First
Arshdeep Singh (IND): The left-arm pacer is currently the highest wicket-taker of his team and in top-form. In six matches he has taken 15 wickets with an economy rate of 7.42 and he has taken three wickets in the last match. He can be a threat to the opposition batters while bowling first.
Jos Buttler (ENG): The keeper-batter produced one of his most dominant innings in the last match against USA and scored 83* runs off 38 balls. Although he will be against a tougher bowling attack, he will once again look to maintain a strike-rate of 200+. His aggressive batting, batting position and current form make him a perfect fit for this category.
IND vs ENG High Risk, High Rewards

Hardik Pandya (IND): Hardik Pandya is an excellent all-rounder and he is currently in great form. So far in six matches he has picked-up eight wickets and scored 116 runs. In the last match he has scored 27* runs. He is a great fit for this category.
Phil Salt (ENG): Phil Salt was in devastating form in the IPL and will look to maximize the powerplay at Guyana. Salt has scored 183 runs in 6 innings with a strike rate of 166.36, which is second highest from his team. He is also a perfect fit for this category.
IND vs ENG Stay Aways
Ravindra Jadeja (IND): Ravindra Jadeja's performance has been disappointing so far in this T20 World Cup 2024. He failed in both departments, scoring only 16 runs in three innings and picking up only one wicket in five innings.
Reece Topley (ENG): Reece Topley has picked-up only one wicket to his name in five matches so far in this tournament. By looking at his current form, he could be given a miss in this upcoming game.
