MATCH PREVIEW     

The Indian team has taken an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series with their 5-wicket win in the last game at Ranchi. In a close contest, the Indians held their nerves in the game to grab the series. As the action moves to Dharamshala for the final match in the series, the Indian side that enjoys higher odds would look to bag it. The English side has failed to challenge the Indians in the last three games, and several questions have been raised about their approach. Having lost the series already, the visitors would like to do well in this game and go home with something to cheer about.  

India Preview     

Rohit Sharma will be pleased to have the series in the bag in four games. After losing the first game, the side faced much criticism and made a strong comeback. Sharma would look to go for the kill and take the series 4-1, which will also improve their position on the ICC Test Championship points table.  

Yashasvi Jaiswal has made 655 runs in this series and will look to deliver a good start with Rohit Sharma. Shubman Gill is in good form, and the team would like to see him build partnerships with Devdutt Padikkal and Sarfaraz Khan in the middle order. Dhruv Jurel batted brilliantly in the last game, and he will look to add runs in the lower middle order with Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin.  

The Indian bowlers in this series have been on top of the English batsmen, making them favorites on cricket betting apps. The side will expect wickets with the new ball from Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep. Ashwin, Jadeja, and Kuldeep Yadav have bowled well in tandem, and the side will expect a good show from them.  

Expected Starting XI for India     

Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Devdutt Padikkal, Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep 

England Preview      

Ben Stokes' side started the tour with a promising win in Hyderabad, but since then, it has been a downhill slide for the team. They had their chances in the last game but failed to capitalize on the opportunities and have seen the side drop out of favor on cricket betting sites. They will have their most favorable conditions in Dharamsala, and Stokes would like to end this tour on a high.  

Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett have batted well at the top, but the side will need to play a big innings in this game. Joe Root hit form in the last game, and he must anchor the innings in the middle order with Ollie Pope and Jonny Bairstow. England has depth in the batting, and they expect a good show from Ben Stokes, Ben Foakes, and Tom Hartley.  

Their bowling attack hasn't been in the best shape in the last few games, and the side will need a good start from James Anderson and Mark Wood with the new ball. Shoaib Bashir has done well; he must use the conditions and do well with Tom Hartley. Root will look to do well in the supporting role.  

Expected Starting XI for England     

Ben Stokes (c), Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Foakes (wk), Tom Hartley, Mark Wood, Shoaib Bashir, James Anderson 

TOSS: To Bat First      

Unlike a typical Indian wicket, the wicket at Dharamshala assists the fast bowlers at the start. However, the batting conditions have been good at this ground, and chasing scores in the 4th innings remains difficult. The side that wins the toss won't hesitate to bat first on this wicket.  

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS      

We expect overcast skies over Dharamshala during the game. The first session will be challenging for the batsmen, but they will enjoy good batting conditions overall. Spinners will dominate the game from Day 3 onward. The side batting first will aim to make 400 runs in the first innings.     

OUR PREDICTION      

England have to play for their pride and honor. There was a lot of talk about their newfound approach to batting before the start of this tour, but the Indians have punctured holes into their dreams. The batting lineup has to play with more responsibility for the side to win this game. The Indians have momentum and a top order that has batted well in the series. They will start favorites according to our cricket betting tips.
