Hosts India will take on England in the 3rd T20I match of the five-match T20I series. The series is wonderfully poised at 1-1.
India leveled the T20I series by winning the second T20I game convincingly. Ishan Kishan made a brilliant debut, whereas Virat also proved his class in the last game. The bowling of Washington Sundar has been brilliant, whereas Chahal, Bhuvi, and Shardul have assisted him. Rohit Sharma is expected to replace KL Rahul in this game.
The England team is at the 1st position in ICC T20I team rankings, and they would want to bounce back after the last defeat. Jason Roy and Dawid Malan are looking in fine form, whereas the rest of the batsmen need to step up. Jofra Archer has been on fire, whereas Jordan is also bowling some brilliant spells.
