IND vs ENG Match Preview

England has been effective in troubling the visitors with the ball. The visitors took eight wickets in the second T20I while defending 166 runs in Chennai. They finally gained the upper hand when they defended 171 runs in Rajkot and defeated India by 26 runs. In the middle of the over, Adil Rashid performed a right-arm leg break that was magical. Suryakumar Yadav and his colleagues have some thinking to do. They were also facing a loss in Chennai. If it hadn't been for Tilak Verma's unbroken 72 off 55 balls, England might have been level much sooner.
