TOSS WINNER – INDIA WON THE TOSS
MATCH WINNER – ENGLAND
IND VS ENG MATCH PREDICTION & ANALYSIS
England gave India a rude awakening when it learned it still has a lot of work to do before the T20 World Cup in October. The gap in planning between the two teams was striking, with England fielding its best squad with the aim of making a point.
India, on the other hand, has chosen to rest its best batsman and has not selected any of its two best fast bowlers.
A lot of changes will be needed ahead of the second match, but the most important thing will be to get clarification on India’s plans. England, on the other hand, will not make many changes and will adhere to its original designs.
On the 14th of March 2021, India vs England 2nd T20 will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
TEAM PREVIEWS
INDIA
India announced that it will strive to be more offensive, and we saw some of that in Virat Kohli’s approach to his inning. The end result, however, was disappointing and ultimately led to India’s loss.
We don’t believe India’s new approach is the best one. The game has evolved, and teams must be able to play attacking cricket within, as shown by the West Indian, New Zealand, and English teams in recent years.
The decision by India to rest Rohit Sharma is perplexing. They want to choose between KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan, but with just five T20 internationals remaining before the World Cup, they should be able to bring their best eleven to the test.
It’ll be interesting to see if Rohit returns for this match or if India sticks with the same lineup.
Before they were shot, Shreyas Iyer and Rishab Pant looked fine. Pant is in excellent shape and could provide the requisite punch in the centre of the order. Overall, however, every Indian batsman struggled against the English bowlers’ pace.
India’s bowling was also abysmal. The seam bowlers are Shardul Thakur, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, and Hardik Pandya, while the spinners are Yuzvendra Chahal, Washington Sundar, and Azar Patel.
ENGLAND
England’s T20 International series could not have started any better. They bowled superbly and effectively won the game in the first hour. The fact that its whole top-order was granted some time in the middle has to be a major plus.
In every area of the game, England outperformed India, and they would want to keep the momentum running.
There’s no question that the dew coming in later benefited England’s batsmen, and they’ll be put to the test further against the spinners if they bowl first. England, on the other hand, has the batting depth and power to defeat India.
Eoin Morgan, Ben Stokes, Sam Curran, and Jofra Archer were not given any chances to play. There is enough variety in England’s squad to keep bringing the game to India’s bowlers and never allowing them to rest, even though it means losing a few wickets.
The true shock came in the form of England’s bowling. Eoin Morgan wisely used Adil Rashid, Ben Stokes, and Sam Curran in particular match-ups, while Archer, Wood, and Jordan hurried India up with pace.
