Rajkot will host the third match of the ongoing five-match T20I series between India and England. The match is scheduled to be played at the Niranjan Shah Stadium on Tuesday (January 28).
High-flying India will have a chance to seal the streak with a win in the upcoming match. The Suryakumar Yadav-led team took a 2-0 lead in the IND vs ENG series and will now look to take an elusive 3-0 lead.
After a 7-wicket win in the first T20I in Kolkata, India registered a hard-fought 2-wicket victory in the second match in Chennai last week. Asked to bat first, England recovered from 90/5 to post a challenging total of 165/9.
In reply, India were in all sorts of trouble after being reduced to 78/5. England were firmly in the driver’s seat at that stage. However, Tilak Varma stood firm at one end and scored an unbeaten 72 off 55 balls to take India home with four balls to spare.
With the 3rd T20I now to take place, here are all the predictions for the 3rd IND vs ENG T20I.
