Five reasons why India will defeat England to win the Champions Trophy

4. Match Winners

India have a lot of match winners who can deliver massive individual performances. We have already seen Shikhar Dhawan doing so twice in the group stages. Virat Kohli has been threatening to explode in the last few games, and the half-century against Sri Lanka in the semi-finals does not augur well for the English. He has the ability to keep the score ticking in a tight situation that requires rebuilding, and can wield his willow devastatingly when the conditions are favourable. The conditions are likely to be suitable for batting at Edgbaston, where the pitch will be dry and hard. Dinesh Karthik produced two consecutive centuries in the warm-up games and has done the job whenever called upon in the competition. No player in this side is having a bad patch.
