Trent Bridge Nottingham T20 records: The iconic Trent Bridge will be hosting a T20I after less than a year today.

The third T20I of the ongoing India’s tour of England will be played in Nottingham today. With India already attaining an unassailable 2-0 series lead, a dead-rubber England vs India T20I on a Sunday afternoon (Sunday night for Indian audiences) should be intriguing nonetheless.
England, who had sealed a record-breaking Test run-chase at Trent Bridge against New Zealand last month, would ideally want to take some confidence from that victory ahead of this match. Having said that, a change in format, captain and head coach has it in it to make a lot of difference.
Additionally, the hosts haven’t really played many T20Is here. As surprisingly as it sounds, this iconic venue hadn’t hosted a T20I between 2012-2021 until an England-Pakistan match last year.
