Former England spinner Monty Panesar has made a major prediction before the fourth Test match played in Manchester and said that Team India can win the fourth Test match. After a minor defeat by 22 runs in the third Test match played at Lord’s, the visiting team is lagging behind 1-2 in the five-match series and will have to win in Manchester to stay in the series.
Panesar believes that the Indian team will play well under the circumstances of Old Trafford. He said that the pitch is expected to get something for everyone during five days, which will make a good match between the bat and the ball. Panesar said, “I think India has a great chance to do well in the next Test match. Everything will be in the pitch, but it depends on the practice and if they can do so, they will have a good possibility of winning.”
Speaking further, Panesar said, “This will be a good wicket for batting and bowling, in which the spinners will get some help later. There will be all kinds of possibilities for everyone. If you bowl badly, you will get punishment. You will get speed and bounce while batting. It will be the fastest pitch of the series so far. The bowlers will have to work hard to take wickets and the batsmen will not be able to work.”
At the same time, England has announced its playing XI before the fourth Test in Manchester. England have made a change in their team in place of injured Shoaib Bashir. Liam Dawson has returned to the team after 8 years. There has been no change in England’s batting order. Jack Crowley and Ben Docket will open, while Oli Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook and Captain Ben Stokes will handle the middle order. In addition to Dawson in the bowling attack, Chris Woakes, Bridan Cars and Jofra Archer will play as all three pacers.
