India is currently ranked at no. 1 position in T20 rankings with Sri Lanka at no. 2, both with 131 points and England are at no. 8 with 96 points. If India loses this match, they will lose 5 rating points and will go down to second position and Sri Lanka will be on top.
The Champions Trophy final in 2013 was played at this very same venue, i.e. Edgbaston and it turned out to be a 20-over game. We all know what happened next. Indian bowlers defended a paltry 130 and won by 5 runs. The wicket in that game helped the spinners. How is it going to play today?
The news from Edgbaston here is that Karn Sharma is going to make his debut for India. He received his first cap from Virat Kohli. While Jason Roy will be playing for England for the first time and it was Morgan who presented him the cap.
