It looks like they'll play today, but only 24 overs! Seems bizarre that a (fairly) important final can be played under such different rules. Imagine the men's final at Wimbledon being reduced to the best of 3 sets because of rain, on the final day of the Open Golf being played over 12 holes instead of 18...
With just 24 overs, England can't afford to start slowly like they usually do, as there won't be the overs to build up slowly, so I'd make India strong favourites.
England v India in the final at Edgbaston on Sunday.
Forecast is showers.
I predict the team batting 2nd will win :-)
I stick by this prediction :-)
I have to say I'm not so confident now. The uncertainty has been taken away & India know, they have to slog straight away. Anyone's game, although I fear the weather may be the winner.

If need to get Dhawan and/or Sharma early and get stuck into the Indian's middle order.
"England won the toss and asked India to bat first".
What happens if they say No ?
