Japan will look to use the home support to their advantage as they take on defending champions India in the quarter-final. However, they face a strong Indian side with plenty of experience. Japan’s bowlers will need to contain India’s aggressive opening pair, while their batters face the challenge of negotiating India’s varied bowling attack, particularly the spinners in the middle overs. With a semi-final spot at stake, Japan will need a near-perfect performance to overcome India.
