ENG vs IND Match Details:
Venue: Edgbaston, Birmingham
Date & Time: July 9, 2022, at 7:00 PM IST

India had a winning start to this series of three T20 matches against the home and favourite side, England. India has some good news for the next matches. They have their key all-rounders in good form and their legendary players from the test series will also join the team in this match. On the other hand, England outplayed in the first T20 match and they will be worried about their performance. We don’t think that a bad performance in one match proves that England is a bad team. They have much strength in the squad and can bounce back in any match. This match is going to be very interesting as India needs just one win to have the series to their name while England needs to win this match to tie the series. In this case, the third T20 match will play the role of the final match.

ENGLAND REVIEWS

The first T20 did not prove good for England and nothing went in their favor. Let’s talk about how the bowling department of England could not do well in the opening match. They leaked plenty of runs in the middle and last overs. They were charged for 198 runs in 20 overs. Sam Curran, R Topley, Moeen Ali, Tymal Mills, Matthew Parkinson, Chris Jordan, and Liam Livingstone were used as the bowlers in the first match. Chris Jordan was the only bowler who created a lot of problems and avoided punishment by the batters of India. He picked two wickets in four overs against just 23 runs. Moeen Ali was the other bowler with two wickets to his name in two overs while he was charged for 26 runs. R Topley, Matthew Parkinson, and Tymal Mills picked one wicket each. Liam Livingstone and Jose Buttler are the two key batsmen of England but both batsmen could not score some big runs in the opening match. England has depth in the batting and Sam Curran is the player who is batting at number seven which is the batting strength of England.

The form of Jose Buttler and Liam Livingstone is a huge question mark and we will have the answer to it in this match. Both batters have to give the best performance in this match against Bhvneshwar Kumar otherwise, the result of the match will be the same as the first match. Bhuvneshwar Kumar had picked the wicket of Jose Buttler four times and this had happened when he was in the single-figure runs. Once again we are sure that if Jose Buttler gets some runs, it will be very difficult for the bowlers of India to stop the batters of England. England has some bad impressions with the bad performances by the star players of England like David Malan and even Jason Roy. We saw Jason Roy struggling with the spin bowlers. Axar Patel and Chahal put a lot of pressure on the batters of England but we don’t think that this is going to happen once again in this match.

INDIA REVIEWS

India played the first match against England with the same team as they were against Ireland. Now they have their star players back on the squad like Rishab Pant, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, Shreyas Iyer, and Virat Kohli. The form of Virat Kohli is not the greatest but we are sure that he will be a part of the squad of India. In our opinion, he will replace Deepak Hooda in this match. The form of King Kohli has been a big question mark and he will be under pressure in this match. Rishab Pant is the other player who will get a chance in the final playing eleven for this match but we don’t think this about Shreyas Iyer. We think that Rishabh Pant will replace Dinesh Karthik in this match. If this happens, it means that Hardik Pandya and Deepak Hooda will have to bowl almost four overs each. Axar Patel will surely miss this match.

Hardik Pandya is back to good form but if the management of team India changes his batting position, we can’t say that he will perform well in this match. Currently, he is batting in the fifth position. Jasprit Hardik Pandya is the other player who will get a chance in this match and we think that he will replace Arshdeep Singh. We think that India will give the chances to the senior players than younger players and the pressure will be on the seniors. Still, we are not sure what will be the final playing eleven before the toss but we can say that we will see so many changes in the final playing eleven of this match. Hardik Pandya was just good with the bat and the ball in the first match. He scored fifty-plus runs and also picked four wickets. Suryakumar Yadav scored 39 runs while Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh picked two wickets each. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was also good with the ball and leaked just 10 runs in three overs and picked one wicket.
