Teams Preview

India Preview

India, the reigning T20 World Champions, are in exceptional form. They have a staggering win-loss ratio of 11 in T20Is over the past year. Ranked first in the ICC Men's T20I team rankings, India has shown their dominance in this series.

In the first T20I, India’s bowling unit shined as they restricted England to 132 all-out. Varun Chakravarthy’s spin magic (3/23) and Abhishek Sharma’s explosive batting (79 off 34 balls) ensured a comprehensive 7-wicket win. In the second game, Tilak Varma’s calm yet attacking 72* off 55 balls secured a close win for India, chasing 166. Varma’s consistent form (371 runs in his last six matches) and Chakravarthy’s wicket-taking ability (22 wickets in nine matches) continue to be India’s biggest strengths.

India Predicted Playing XI: Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy

England Preview

England has struggled to adapt to Indian conditions, which has been evident in their performances. Their top-order batting has failed to deliver, except for Jos Buttler, who has been the lone warrior. Despite improvements in the second T20I, where England posted 165/9, they couldn’t stop India from chasing the target.

Key bowlers like Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid have performed well, but the team’s overall bowling strategy needs a revamp. Brydon Carse’s three-wicket haul in the second game was promising, but consistent performances are lacking.

England Predicted Playing XI: Ben Duckett, Philip Salt (wk), Jos Buttler (c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood

IND vs ENG Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot is known for its batting-friendly conditions. Out of the five T20Is played here, three have been won by teams batting first. Teams winning the toss should opt to bat to capitalize on the flat surface.

Weather: Hot and sunny with temperatures ranging from 33°C to 16°C, ideal for cricket.

Lotus365 Match Analysis and Prediction

India’s recent dominance in T20Is, combined with England’s struggles, makes the hosts clear favorites. Tilak Varma’s sublime form and Varun Chakravarthy’s lethal spin attack are proving too strong for England. Unless England’s top-order batters find form and their bowlers step up, it’s likely India will seal the series in this game.

Final Prediction: India to win the 3rd T20I.
