England, on the other hand, is currently wallowing in ninth place in the standings, having lost four of its last five games. England faces significant obstacles in their quest to finish in the top four, which looks almost impossible. England started with a defeat against New Zealand but made a comeback against Bangladesh. Since that win, it all went downhill for the Three Lions as they suffered consecutive losses to Afghanistan, South Africa, and most recently, Sri Lanka.

As a result of a ligament injury Hardik Pandya reportedly suffered during the match against Bangladesh, he would not be available for India to start. Ravichandran Ashwin will most likely make his way into the squad. Along with Suryakumar Yadav, Mohammed Shami, who claimed five wickets against New Zealand is probably going to be included in the squad.

England has a strong line-up but most of them have failed to put an impact. Big names like Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, Liam Livingstone, Harry Brook are yet to show their real form, Joe Root, however, have played consistently. Reece Topley's injury ruled him out of the competition, so Brydon Carse has taken his spot. Mark Wood needs to change his form because he hasn't been performing at his best. The combination of Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid's spin can be dangerous for the Indian batters on Lucknow's pitch.
