India seal the series and England will be feeling the heat now. Their white-ball side has had its troubles in the last couple tournaments and their struggles against spin are evident. Struggles against spin will be highlighted even more now with the CT in Pakistan. India though will be happy to see Rohit Sharma back to his best in what is his best format. They will be hoping for something similar from Virat Kohli while Ravindra Jadeja has also come to the party in both games.

Time: 1:30 PM IST
Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
Occasional showers have been around but the weather should be nice, clean and dewy.
Ahmedabad is likely to spin but dew will also play a role. Batting second is a better choice.

Ravindra Jadeja
Jadeja's position is one which always comes under the scanner particularly with Axar Patel smelling him in the back. Jadeja though continues to deliver and the prospect of both Jadeja and Axar playing together does look good with both of them delivering.
Joe Root
Joe Root is often a forgotten quantity in white-ball Cricket. He was good in the SA20 and the ODI format is suited well to his game.
England are struggling while India seem to be getting their pieces together well.
