Jason Holder’s side has a strong bowling lineup. But, the batting lineup is not that strong and has a big chance to suffer against English pacers and spinners. Lara thinks England is a clear favorite. He also stated WI needs to hit immediately if they want to get a good result.

They have to be able to pounce immediately. England is not beaten very easily at home and is overwhelming favorites.

Lara told to bbc.co.uk.

On the other hand, Lara thinks much of WI’s success will relate to how quickly they can adapt to English conditions.

They have to hit the road running and stamp their authority on England. I don’t think they can last five days, so they have to take these games in four days. They have to establish a lead and keep it.
