England, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka have played seven matches in World Cup 2019 each and will be playing two more matches in the tournament. England holds the fourth position with 8 points and faces tough competition from these three Asian teams for the fourth spot on the points table, which will ensure a World Cup 2019 semi-final berth for the team who grabs it at the end.
Bangladesh and Pakistan have seven points in World Cup 2019 and hold 5th and 6th position respectively. Both of them can only make their way to finals if England loses at least one of its rest two matches. If England loses to India in their very next game, these two teams will have the chance to outclass the hosts from semis by reaching 11 points after winning their next two matches. Even Sri Lanka with 6 points at present can only make a way to semis if England loses at least one match.
Since India is the only unbeaten team in the tournament so far and also looks the strongest of all at present, the fans of these three Asian nations want India to defeat England during their clash at Edgbaston, Birmingham, knocking the hosts out of semis race.
