New Delhi: India have already won the series, but Virat Kohli & Co still need to win the dead rubber for their own sake, as it will be their last last ODI before the Champions Trophy. A defeat in Kolkata, in front of a passionate crowd, will put all their good words to waste.
Because, Indian fans now expect every game to win, specially after their emphatic wins in the last two matches. If those matches in Pune and Cuttack have anything to say about this Indian team, it's super confident. They can chase down any target, and set impossible totals.
India are likely to field a different team. Shikhar Dhawan, who is fighting his own demons and also an injury, is likely to be replaced by Ajinkya Rahane. England too have their opening woes. Alex Hales has returned after picking an injury in his right hand during the second match.
Both the sides, however, are likely to have the same bowling line-ups. It seems, there's very little bowlers can do in these run feats.
Here's everything you need to know about the match:
