1st T20I, India’s tour of England

Manchester, 03 July, 10:00 PM IST

England have never looked as good in limited-over formats in years, and have absolutely hammered Australia recently. Joe Root looks like a misfit in this England T20I squad, that’s how good they’ve batted against Australia.

India have suffered a late blow, losing the services of the star-bowler Jasprit Bumrah. Apart from that, it’s an explosive set up. Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan have all had an excellent warm-up against Ireland in the lead up to the big showdown. Likewise, the spin twins – Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav – spun a web around Ireland batting.

The contest has all the making of an enthralling encounter, with very little to separate the two sides. Which team will come out on top?
