Match Prediction:

With the series officially won in favour of the hosts, India and England will face off in the fifth and final Test, which begins on Thursday, March 7th in Dharamshala. Although England led the series, India has won the last three games. Continue reading as we preview this match, which begins at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium at 09:30 local time.

India has had to deal with injuries and the absence of important players throughout this series, but they have won the previous three matches, including a difficult chase in Ranchi at the end of last month. The team’s confidence is building, and they anticipate to win again in this game.

England was trounced 3-1 in their previous series in India after taking a 1-0 lead, and all signs point to the same occurring this time, but with a 4-1 defeat at the end. England has been competitive in this series, but it would be surprising if they win at Dharamsala.

Winning Chances:

INDIA

59.8%

DRAW

12.5%

ENGLAND

27.6%

Toss Prediction:

With more sun expected as the game progresses, we anticipate that if either team wins the toss, they will prefer to bowl first under cloudy conditions.

Weather Report:

Although the weather forecast predicts that temperatures will rise as the game progresses, they are unlikely to exceed 17 degrees throughout the Test and may not top 12 degrees on a gloomy and damp day 1.

Pitch Report:

This pitch is expected to be the least typical Indian pitch we’ve seen in this series. We anticipate lots of pace and bounce throughout the game.

Head to Head:

With England won the first game of this series and the final match of the previous series, they trail only 3-2 in the last five. However, in India, they have only won two of the last fourteen.

India Preview:

Akash Deep made his India debut in the Ranchi Test, but we expect Jasprit Bumrah to take over for the last Test of the series. KL Rahul is still ailing and will not be considered for selection, nor will Virat Kohli, who is currently unavailable.

India Squad Preview:

Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah

England Preview:

Many observers expect England to select just one spinner for the first time on this tour, with the ground predicted to suit fast bowlers and the weather allowing them to bowl longer spells. Mark Wood is likely to replace Shoaib Bashir, who has a fractured spinning finger. Jonny Bairstow will play his 100th Test in this match.

England Squad Predicted:

Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Ben Stokes (c), Jonny Bairstow, Ben Foakes (wk), Ollie Robinson, Tom Hartley, Mark Wood, James Anderson

India vs England Prediction:

England had a good lead going into the fourth innings of the last Test, but India’s outstanding and calm batting sealed the match and the series. The weather will be more like an English winter than what most people imagine in India, making for an interesting test! However, regardless of the conditions, India has outplayed England in the last two games, and we expect them to win again this week.
