Here's a sample of the kind of stats and facts:
 
  1. England and India have faced each other 86 times in ODIs with India winning 46 times and England 35 times. In ODIs played in England however, England have the upper hand winning 18 out of the 33 ODIs and India winning only 11.
     
  2. Both teams have come up against each other twice before in Champions Trophy matches and India has triumphed on both occasions - winning by 8 wickets in Colombo in 2002 and by 4 wickets in Jaipur in 2006.
     
  3. This is the second time that India and England will be meeting in a final of an ODI tournament. The last time the two teams met in a final was in the Natwest Trophy in 2002 when a Saurav Ganguly led India stunned England in successfully chasing 325 with 3 balls to spare.
     
  4. This is England's second Champions Trophy Final. The last time they reached the final was also when the Champions Trophy was hosted by England and they lost the final to the West Indies in 2004. This is India's third Champions Trophy Final - They lost the final to New Zealand in 2000-01 and then shared the trophy with Sri Lanka in the next edition in 2002-03.
     
  5. This is England's 6th final of an ICC tournament. Out of the 5 previous finals, they have turned out victorious only once winning the ICC World T20 in 2010. This is also the third time that England have reached the final of an ICC tournament at home.
     
  6. England have never won a 50-over ICC title despite playing in 4 such finals. This will be their 5th attempt.
     
  7. This will be India's 7th final of an ICC Tournament. Out of the 6 previous finals, they have been successful in winning 2 ICC World Cup Titles and 1 ICC World T20 Title and in sharing an ICC Champions Trophy Title.
     
  8. India is on the verge of a rare feat - if they win tomorrow they will be the reigning World Cup Champions, U-19 Champions, the number 1 ranked ODI team, and the Champions Trophy winners.

Pitch and conditions


 


The big concern is what is overhead. It rained a day before the final, and the weather is expected to play some part during the match, but will it do enough to affect what have been almost subcontinental conditions at Edgbaston? The pitch for this match hasn't been used previously, but If it retains enough moisture, the ball could seam around crazily as it did in the Cardiff semi-final.

Quotes

 

"I've never seen them as relaxed as we have been leading up to a big game. But I'm looking around in the guys' eyes and I know they're ready to play."
Alastair Cook on his team's state of mind

 

"The English team is a very good team, especially the bowlers, and what we are positive about is the fact our top order, they have done well, and also the fact they have played some of the best bowlers in world cricket so far in the tournament. So I think they are quite well prepared for the English bowlers."
MS Dhoni
