Why are antiviral mattress protectors a priority for health and safety?
A mattress protector or a mattress cover is essentially a bedding item made to encase your mattress to protect you and your sleep
"India has won the match" is correct.
In English, when using collective nouns, the Subject-Verb Agreement rule dictates that the verb that follows a collective noun shall be singular. But, if you were to talk about its components along-with the collective noun, the verb that follows is generally plural. For example -
A dozen is probably not enough.
A dozen are coming over tonight.
The second sentence requires the plural form of the verb because you talk about a dozen people coming over, whereas in the first example, you collectively talk of the dozen as a whole.
In the scenario for this question, "India" is used as a collective noun and hence the verb that shall follow is "has".
