India will look to replicate what they did with England in the Test series and with New Zealand in the ODI series. Meanwhile, England will try to put things behind and try to forget the defeats they suffered against Bangladesh and India in recently concluded Test series.

Although India had lost the previous game in Pune, but they will have in mind that they have also won against the same opposition in the same ground.

India have the fire power and experience to win the game against England. If India win the toss, they might opt to bat first, post a big total and then defend it. They have the bowlers who can bowl well against the Englishmen. If Indian bowlers can get Hales, Morgan, Bairstow, they can easily defend their total.
