5 reasons why England will defeat India to win the ICC Champions Trophy 2013

1. James Anderson

Those who saw James Anderson bowl against South Africa will know that in spite of the single wicket that he got, it was a match- winning performance. The swing bowler pinned down the South African line-up as if he was bowling to a domestic side. He gave away absolutely nothing and deceived the batsmen with his wit as much as with his lateral movement. South Africa had to play him out and the pressure that was built benefited Broad, Finn and Tredwell. He has taken 9 wickets in 4 matches for England and will trouble the Indian batsmen upfront who have not been tested with swing so far in this competition. He is England’s trump card.
