Rohit Sharma's men would be indeed high on confidence, having won four of their five league-stage games. England blew hot and cold in the group stage and even suffered a shocking defeat to Ireland. However, they bounced back just at the right time.
The occasion was the semi-final of the 1983 World Cup and the venue was the Old Trafford in Manchester. England got bundled out for 213 while batting first as skipper Kapil Dev took a three-fer for India. India clinched the contest by six wickets.
England settled the scores with India in the semi-final of the subsequent World Cup in 1987. Riding on Graham Gooch's 115, the Brits posted 254/6 in their 50 overs in Mumbai. Mohammad Azharuddin’s 64 went in vain as India lost the match.
In the 2013 Champions Trophy final, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja helped India post 129/7 while batting first in Birmingham. In reply, England looked on the right track for the most part but lost momentum toward the end. India won by five runs.
