England XI appear invincible at the moment and have become hot favourites to lift the trophy. But if there is any team that can stop ENG XI, it’s Belgium. Despite succumbing to three losses after a fast start, BEL bounced back to winning ways by beating a strong NED XI. Both sides have beaten each other previously and will be eyeing another win to earn bragging rights.
