In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra predicted Buttler and Kohli to shine with the bat in the crunch encounter. He elaborated: "Buttler and Kohli will together score 80+ runs for sure. Both play for different teams, I feel both will have a good match. One of them might score 80 on his own. If Buttler gets to bat first, he might score 80-85 runs on his own, there is a strong possibility." Chopra expects the England openers to attack the Indian bowlers in the powerplay overs. The former Indian opener observed: "England to score nine runs per over in the powerplay, they will hit decently. Whether they bat first or second, Buttler and Hales will start hitting from the first ball. So nine runs per over is my good guess." Buttler and Alex Hales smashed 70 runs in the first six overs in England's must-win final Super 12 clash against Sri Lanka. While the England skipper (28 off 23) was slightly more sedate, Hales smoked a belligerent 47 off just 30 deliveries.
