Day 3 Prediction
- Pitch Report: Edgbaston ki pitch Day 3 pe thodi wear dikhayegi, jisse spinners ko turn aur seamers ko movement milega.
- Recent Form:
- England: 1st Test jeetne ke baad confidence high hai, especially chasing mein.
- India: 1st Test haarne ke bawajood batting mein depth, bowling mein aggression.
- Key Matchup: Bumrah vs Duckett – Bumrah ka new-ball spell England ke openers ke liye tough hoga.
- Prediction: Agar India pehle batting karegi, toh 350+ ka score set karne ki koshish karegi. Agar England chase kar raha hai, toh ‘Bazball’ approach se 300+ ka target bhi chase kar sakta hai. Day 3 ka result match ka rukh tay karega, par India thodi aggressive bowling se game mein wapas aa sakti hai. India 55% chance to dominate, England 45% chance to maintain control.
