EDC vs IDC Probable Winners:

This is a difficult one to call. Both England Champions and India Champions have played outstanding cricket. India Champions’s batting has not been particularly effective in the last tournament, but their fearsome bowling attack has more than compensated. On the other hand, England Champions has a stronger all-round squad and appears to be the more balanced team on paper. However, both teams will be nervous because India Champions is playing with new squad, and England Champions has had some traumatic memories in the past. Considering the team combination, India Champions are expected to win this match.
