2021 India vs England MAP 1 - Test Series
It is time to take out the crystal ball and make some predictions for the India vs England cricket series. As mentioned earlier, we will not have a Make A Prediction (MAP) for every single game, but one for the Test matches, one for the T20s, and one for the ODIs. The first Test match will begin on 5th February. Unlike the previous MAPs which were announced just a day earlier, these MAPs will be announced two days prior to the start of each of the series. This is because it was realized that there are some participants who do not get time during the day to submit their entries and scramble to do so at late hours. Hence, instead of closing the MAP at midnight, it will remain open till next day early morning, to enable submission of entries before/after a hearty breakfast!The first Test match between India and England will begin on 5th February, so let's begin with our first MAP.
What you have to do: In a single response to this thread, submit a list of your predictions. You will not be allowed to change your predictions once you submit, and entries after the closing time will not be considered valid.
The reward: One point and 1cc for every accurate prediction. Points across the three MAPs will be tallied at the end and the top two winners will receive a small cash prize. However, to be eligible for that cash prize, you must participate in all the MAPs.
