The second T20I of the ongoing India’s tour of England will be played in Birmingham tomorrow. Having hosted a record-breaking England-India Test match as recent as this week, the action will return to Edgbaston although in a completely different format.
India, who missed a golden opportunity of registering a rare Test series victory at this venue on Tuesday, will be looking to win this match to confirm a T20I series victory and seek some revenge.
England, on the other hand, will have to enhance their performance from the first T20I yesterday not only because the series is on the line but also because the opposition will be bolstered by the return of multi-format players.
India lead series 1-0. 🇮🇳
