Both teams are coming off a win in their previous game and they have taken their confidence to the next level through the wins. This will be an exciting fixture with both sides possessing a lot of quality match winners.

India pulled off a comfortable win against England in their warm-up fixture and the openers looked sublime with their extraordinary hitting skills in the powerplay.
