The Indian cricket team has taken a 2-0 lead in the ongoing five-match T20 series against England. The team will now aim to take an unassailable lead in the series on Tuesday in Rajkot. India defeated England in the first two T20 matches by 7 wickets and 2 wickets respectively, and the third match will be held at the Niranjan Shah Stadium, Rajkot.
So far, five T20 International matches have been played at this stadium in Rajkot, in which the average score of the first innings has been 189. India last scored 228 runs for the loss of 5 wickets against Sri Lanka here, and high scores have been seen here during the Mushtaq Ali Trophy as well. Based on this statistic, big scores can be expected at this stadium once again.
On this surface of opportunity, as per past statistics, the England team would want to be cautious while facing the Indian spinners, as their performance against the Indian spinners has been weak after 2024. Notably, Harry Brook has lost his wicket six times in 35 balls to the googlies of leg spinners.
