Who will win India vs England 3rd T20?

India have managed to keep the ongoing three-match T20 series alive as they beat England by five runs in the second match at Nagpur. With the series now levelled at 1-1, the third and the deciding T20 will be played on February 1 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangaluru. The match is scheduled to begin at 7 PM local time.

Toss

The M.Chinnaswamy Stadium has hosted four T20 internationals till date and of these, three have been won by the side that has fielded first. And also since there is dew expected later on in the evening, winning the toss will get even more important. So whichever team wins the toss on Wednesday is highly likely to bat second.

India

Team News

The team combination is likely to remain unchanged for the third T20 and there are no reports of any injuries in the side.

Key Players

The opening pair of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul will be the key in India’s batting, especially since the middle order has not looked convincing enough. Kohli batted fluently in both the games and so we predict the skipper to make the most contribution with the bat on Wednesday. Jasprit Bumrah’s heroics in the final over sealed the win for India in the second T20 and he will be the key bowler in the death overs again at Bangaluru.

Recent Form

India now have three wins in their last five T20 internationals – two against Zimbabwe and one in the last match against England. They have been doing well with the ball in this series but they haven’t been really impressive with the bat.

India T20 Squad

Virat Kohli (Captain), JJ Bumrah, YS Chahal, MS Dhoni†, B Kumar, Mandeep Singh, A Mishra, A Nehra, MK Pandey, HH Pandya, RR Pant, Parvez Rasool, KL Rahul, SK Raina, Yuvraj Singh

India Predicted XI

V Kohli (c), KL Rahul, SK Raina, Yuvraj Singh, MK Pandey, MS Dhoni (wk), HH Pandya, A Mishra, JJ Bumrah, A Nehra and YS Chahal.

England

Team News

The English team is in a good physical condition with all the players match-fit. Expect them to go in with the same playing eleven that took the field on Sunday.

Key Players

Joe Root made an unbeaten 46 in the first game and he almost took his team over the line in the second before being wrongly adjudged lbw on 38. He is England’s leading run-scorer in the series and we predict him to do well with the bat in the third T20. The Indian batters have found it difficult to score against Moeen Ali and they are likely to be troubled by the offspinner once again.

Recent Form

England faced their third defeat in five matches in the shortest format when they went down to the hosts on Sunday. Though they are a very good T20 side, they just have not been consistent enough. Their bowlers however have bowled tight lines and lengths in both the games.

England T20 Squad

Eoin Morgan (Captain), MM Ali, JT Ball, SW Billings, JC Buttler†, LA Dawson, AD Hales, CJ Jordan, TS Mills, LE Plunkett, AU Rashid, JE Root, JJ Roy, BA Stokes, DJ Willey.

England Predicted XI

JJ Roy, SW Billings, JE Root, EJG Morgan (c), BA Stokes, JC Buttler (wk), MM Ali, CJ Jordan, LA Dawson, TS Mills and AU Rashid.
