Coming on the heels of England's humiliating seven-wicket defeat at the hands of majestic South Africa, defending champions India's chastening seven-wicket rout by capricious West Indies at Lord's on Friday makes Sunday's clash between the former colonial nation and its erstwhile colony a mouth-watering, do-or-die battle.
For both teams, a defeat will mean elimination from the competition unless other unexpected results allow them to scrape through on run-rate.
The two countries have met only once before (India have played 16 to England's 18) in the crash-bang-wallop version of the game which India won in Durban, one which Yuvraj Singh, in particular, will never forget for the historic six-sixes-in-an-over hiding he gave pace bowler Stuart Broad.
