Match Preview
After India registered their biggest win by runs in Test cricket history, the caravan will now move to the home of India’s most successful captain MS Dhoni, Ranchi. Both teams are now determined to gain a dominating position in the series, with home favourites leading the five-match series by 2-1. Given their recent performance, India are likely to put up a strong fight against their rivals, led by Ben Stokes.
Team News
West Bengal pacer Akash Deep can make his international debut as India take on England in Ranchi. The team will see Jasprit Bumrah’s absence as he was released from the squad ahead of the fourth Test. Along with it, wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul is also ruled out of the fourth Test and his participation in the Dharamsala Test is subject to fitness. Apart from them, pacer Mukesh Kumar, who missed the third Test, has joined the team and is likely to replace Bumrah.
The hosts are already without the services of star batter Virat Kohli, due to the birth of his second child, Akaay.
Toss Prediction
Cricketing giants India and England have locked horns in 134 Test matches so far. Talking about the ongoing series, England skipper Ben Stokes won the toss in the opening game. Home skipper Rohit Sharma then went on to win the tosses in both, the second and third fixtures. Considering their run, we think circumstances will favour Rohit Sharma and he will win the toss to extend his toss tally to 3-1.
Win Possibility
The JSCA International Cricket Stadium in Ranchi, Jharkhand is set to host the fourth Test of the ongoing series between India and England. As mentioned, both teams have played 134 Test matches, where India won 33 games, and England came on top in 51 matches. Meanwhile, t he remaining 50 games ended in a draw.
Talking about the win possibilities, hosts are likely to end the game in their favour to gain a 3-1 lead and clinch the series. India faced a 28-run defeat in the opening game but made a remarkable comeback to record a 106-run win and a dominating 434-run victory in the second and third Test, respectively. Keeping their form in mind, we feel Rohit Sharma and his men won’t let the chance slip away and end the series before a decider.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi is known for its favourable batting conditions and comes off as a difficult surface for bowlers. The stadium has hosted a total of six Test matches. The average first inning score is 474. Considering this, we expect the first inning score to hover around 400-450 in the fourth Test, commencing on February 23, Friday.
