Test Match Special · ‘England have the best spinners in the World Cup’ - Vaughan · 3 Mar 2026 podcast

We know that Sam Curran and India have an amazing equation.

He performs brilliantly against India and in India, whether it's IPL or any other form of cricket.

So he will be a key, key part of it.

I just feel that because England have found a way in difficult situations to consistently take that one extra step and get over the line almost every time, they are better for it.

They haven't sort of just blown everyone away like in some ways South Africa have.

Or India did in 2023 in a 50-over World Cup.

India have had the blip as well, that one terrible day in Ahmedabad.

So I think both teams will fancy their chances.

They both know there's nothing to choose, really.

It's about the performance on the day, the match-ups, who's going to come out and play that inspired innings on either side or two, and that will determine who goes through.

But I suspect the 12th man, which is the crowd, if England are able to, as Sukri Conrad said the other night in Ahmedabad, we are there to silence that crowd.

If that happens, and if the crowd goes silent, I think England have done the game.

It'll be shaking, it'll be throbbing, that you can be sure.

Even for neutral games we saw, the Nepal game for example, boy, did those supporters come out and really shake that stadium up.

It'll be an absolute riot in terms of people.

They know if India do win or lose, this is the last time the Mumbai crowd is going to see India in this tournament, much to the disappointment of many who don't want the big final to be in Ahmedabad, who want it to be in Mumbai or Calcutta or Chennai.

But that's for another time.

I think there will be a lot of support for India.

But to Michael's point about fielding, India actually have three, dare I say, almost passenger-like folks in that squad.

Jaspreet does the job with the ball.
