1. India vs England ODI
At Edgbaston, the two teams will square off in an ODI to rekindle one of cricket’s oldest rivalries. India, led by Rohit Sharma, are hoping to end a 10-year ODI drought while England are seeking some redemption after suffering their shock defeat against South Africa last time out.
Since 1983, India and Pakistan have met over 50 times in One Day Internationals (ODIs), usually with India emerging victorious. Their next ODI match promises to be another classic contest, making this competition one of the most anticipated tournament events.
Jos Buttler will have big shoes to fill when he assumes command of England following Eoin Morgan’s retirement from One-Day Internationals. Buttler must lead his side back from their opening defeat against South Africa and make a statement at this World Cup.
Injury has affected both teams, and will likely alter the overall balance of power between camps. Still, both are well equipped to take advantage of this crucial game and use this chance to increase their chances of reaching the semi-finals.
India will look to impress in this series with players such as Ishan Kishan, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav all hoping to cement their ODI spots. Veteran bowlers Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Mohammed Shami will be supported by younger bowlers like Krunal Pandya, Axar Patel and Mohd Siraj who can fill any voids on either end of the pitch. In recent times India spinners have proven an effective combination.
2. India vs England Test
Cricket is known worldwide for its fierce rivalries, and India-England encounters are always highly anticipated events. Both sides have faced off numerous times across various formats and have maintained an intensely competitive head-to-head record; their five-match Test series promises plenty of excitement as their respective top performers square off against one another.
The inaugural Test between India and England will commence on Thursday, 25 January at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad before continuing to Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam for round two. Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot will then play host to round three and finally the fifth and final Test will conclude at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala for its fifth and final encounter between both nations on Thursday 7 March.
Both teams feature several newcomers for this five-match series, such as debutants Devdutt Padikkal and Sarfraz Khan who have made notable impacts since arriving. Padikkal scored a half century on his India debut while Khan has shown an aggressive style. England, on the other hand, are looking to rebound after their shocking loss to South Africa in their opening game; Jos Buttler will need his side’s best performance if they hope to avoid an embarrassing whitewash from Indian bowlers; Ben Stokes leads their attack but should expect some stiff opposition from an experienced Indian bowling attack led by Ben Stokes himself!
3. India vs England T20
India defeated England by 68 runs to advance to their third successive T20 World Cup final at Providence Stadium, Guyana. Rohit Sharma’s men showed great batting and bowling prowess as they effortlessly dismantled the reigning champions, getting revenge for an embarrassing defeat they had received two years earlier at an identical stage of this competition.
India and England share one of the greatest rivalries in international cricket. When their two sides clash in limited-overs matches, both have always provided thrilling contests – this has happened 23 times so far with each side winning 12 matches each!
This match-up will be crucial for both sides. England are eager to come back from their disappointing defeat against South Africa and reach the final, while India hope to secure home series victory and seal Rishabh Pant’s worth; the youngster has shown tremendous promise with India during recent matches and should look to build upon his promising performances.
Weather conditions will undoubtedly play a vital role in this matchup. Guyana has experienced heavy rainfall recently and there is a strong possibility that play may be interrupted; neither the venue nor organizers have planned for a reserve day, which could create issues. Luckily, however, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has granted an extension of 250 minutes beyond their usual cut-off times for semifinals and finals so it is unlikely the game will be abandoned; players should however remain mindful and take precautionary steps should the weather worsen significantly during gameplay.

Both sides also share an even head-to-head record at World Cup tournaments – each won eight times by 2007 when Yuvraj Singh hit six sixes against Stuart Broad for India to achieve an iconic win against them.
On Thursday at Providence Stadium in Guyana, these two teams will clash again in the second semifinal of the 2024 T20 World Cup. Jos Buttler won the toss and elected to field first, with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami bowling well during their powerplays.
Indian batsmen were in fine form early, reaching 229 for 9 at the end of Powerplay thanks to some great hitting by Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli who shared an outstanding 98-run stand to put India into a commanding position before England bowlers staged a late surge to reach 215-8 at close of play.
Indian cricket team are in good position to advance to the final, having already won their group with three wins and overtaking New Zealand with a victory in Christchurch from March 8th. India would need support from its spinners such as Ashwin, Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja; Bumrah who has been their top wicket-taker will also need to perform.
