Venue and Pitch
The match will take place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. A few days back, police had to be called in to keep the public in check as they fought to buy tickets for the big game on Sunday. England will feel the pressure as soon as they walk out, as the stadium will be packed to the rafters and all the crowd support will go India’s way. The pitch will be a belter, although you can expect the new ball to swing for the first 7 overs.
