However, the rains have interrupted the play.
" I am just hoping that the rains stay away and we have a full match, as this will be a lifetime experience," said an exuberant Indian fan, Rohan.
The media has already touted this as the battle of the equals. It is also expected that Edgbaston will witness a full-house.
