Team India will now host the visiting English team in the third T20I of their five-match series on Tuesday, January 28 at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. The ‘Men in Blue’ won the first two matches to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.

India

The Indian cricket team took a 2-0 lead over England by clinching the second T20I in a last-over thriller in Chennai. India’s twin wins also extended their dominance in the format, as they have now won 31 of their last 35 T20I matches, and 26 of the last 28 they have played since January last year. While bowlers Varun Chakravarthy and Arshdeep Singh headlined India’s victory in the series opener, young Tilak Varma pulled off a sensational run-chase next up with a calculated half-century.

England

England recently recorded a 3-1 series win in the West Indies under the leadership of Jos Buttler. However, the Englishmen had their entire winning momentum abrupted by falling to huge defeats in the first couple of T20Is against India. With series on the line, the England team now needs to win each of their remaining three matches.

How Will the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium Pitch Behave?

The surface at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune is largely conducive for batting. The average first innings total here in all men’s T20Is has turned out to be a staggering 189. Teams batting first have won three matches here while the chasing sides have managed to win twice. Owing to the pristine batting conditions on offer, the captain winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.

Players To Watch Out For In IND vs ENG 3rd T20I

India

Tilak Varma

Tilak Varma has racked up 371 runs in his last six T20I matches for India. Moreover, the dashing left-handed batter even punched out a match-winning 72* from just 55 balls against England a couple of days ago in Chennai.

Arshdeep Singh

Arshdeep Singh has been effortlessly making the new ball count off late. With early wickets in both matches of the series, Arshdeep also became India’s most successful T20I bowler through his match-winning spell in the first match in Kolkata.

Varun Chakravarthy

Indian spinner Varun Chakravarthy has already taken five wickets in just the two matches of the series at an impressive average of 12.20. Overall, the cricketer has snared 22 wickets in his last nine appearances in the format.

Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson played a crucial role in India’s 3-1 series victory in South Africa a couple of months ago. With rare batting failures in the first two T20Is against England, one can assume that the blistering Indian opener is due for a big score in the coming days.

England

Brydon Carse

England all-rounder Brydon Carse made a quickfire 31 and picked up three wickets in his fighting spell against India on his T20I return a couple of days ago.

Jos Buttler

England captain Jos Buttler has tallied the highest number of runs among all batters this series, scoring 113 runs from two innings at an average of 56.50. Moreover, in his last eight matches, the legendary cricketer has piled up 261 runs at an astonishing strike rate of 160.12.

Adil Rashid

Senior England spinner Adil Rashid holds an experience of 321 T20 matches, including 121 internationals. Rashid’s tendency of picking up crucial wickets and maintaining good economy rates will place him in good stead against India in Rajkot.

Phil Salt

Attacking English opener Phil Salt holds a T20I strike rate of 164.44. While he is yet to notch up a single notable score this series, Salt is quite accustomed with Indian surfaces owing to his IPL experience, where he averages 34.36 with a strike rate of 175.53.
