England Team News & Playing 11

Team News

England have retained the entire squad from their recent one-off T20 international against Australia in addition to adding batsman Dawid Malan as replacement for the injured bowler Tom Curran who has been ruled out of the opening game with a side strain. Curran, however, is expected to get fit in time for the remaining two matches of the T20I series. Jos Buttler shone with the bat after being promoted to the opening position in the last game against Australia and the team might consider keeping him at that slot, in which case Alex Hales would have to be pushed down in the batting order.

Key Players

Most of their batsmen have been in top form lately. Eoin Morgan is the leading T20I run-getter for England while Alex Hales has scored the most runs at the Old Trafford in this format after Kevin Pietersen. Jos Buttler who scored a quickfire 30-ball 61 in the last match against Australia  seems to be in the best phase of his career while Jason Roy has four big knocks in his last five innings. Chris Jordan is the highest wicket-taker for England in T20Is from this squad and he is one of the key men in this bowling lineup alongside Liam Plunkett who was very impressive in the recent Australia ODI series. Adil Rashid will be the go-to man for the hosts when it comes to spin. The leg-spinner troubled the Australians and he is expected to pose a tough challenge to the Indian batsmen as well.

Recent Form

England have been blowing hot and cold of late in the 20-overs format with five wins and seven losses in their last twelve matches. After a disappointing Trans-Tasman tri-series in Australia and New Zealand in February where they lost three of their four fixtures, the hosts would have regained some confidence with a 28-run victory over Australia in their previous T20 international at Birmingham.

India Team News & Playing 11

Team News

India have been dealt a major blow ahead of the T20I series as Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the series with a fractured hand. The pace bowler had picked up the injury while bowling in the first T20 international against Ireland at Malahide. Deepak Chahar, owing to his impressive recent performance, has been included in the 16-man squad as a like-for-like replacement. Earlier, allrounder Washington Sundar had suffered an ankle injury in Malahide at a warm-up session and was ruled out of both the limited-overs series. The selectors have called up bowling allrounder Krunal Pandya for the T20I series as a replacement for Sundar.

Key Players

Shikhar Dhawan has been in brilliant form since the IPL. The opening batsman warmed-up with a knock of 74 runs in the first T20I against Ireland and he is going to be the key man for India at the top. Virat Kohli has scored the most runs for his side in this format while Suresh Raina is coming off a fifty in the previous game. MS Dhoni does not take too much time to settle in and one can expect a few big hits from him towards the end. Among the fast bowlers, Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be the main threat for the England batsmen. His ability to swing the ball both ways will test the hosts in seam-friendly conditions. Spin twins Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal who tormented the Irish batsmen will be skipper Kohli's trump cards in the middle overs.

Recent Form

India have shown terrific form in the shortest format for the game in recent times; they have won eight out of the ten T20 internationals played this year and are on a six-match winning streak. They played their last T20I series against Ireland as preparation for their tour of England. It was a two-game series which India won quite comfortably with a 76-run win in the first match followed by a massive 143-run win in the second.

England vs India Head to Head

­ENG vs IND Head to Head

England and India have played 11 T20 internationals against each other in the past with six of those being won by the former.

The two countries have faced each other just once in this format at the Old Trafford. That game was played back in 2011 with the hosts securing a win by six wickets.

Their last T20I encounter came last year in February at Bengaluru where India emerged victorious by 75 runs.

Matches Played: 11, England Won: 6; India Won: 5

­England vs India 1st T20 Betting Odds

England are one of those teams who are very difficult to beat in their own conditions and this is probably why they are favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this opening T20 international. The hosts are being offered at odds of 1.83 on Betway, 1.72 on Bet365 and 1.74 on Betfair. India, despite having won their last six matches in this format, begin as the bookmakers' underdogs at a higher price of 2.20 on Betway, 2.10 on Bet365 and 2.26 on Betfair.

­England vs India 1st T20 Prediction

India are ranked second in the ICC T20I rankings while England are fourth. The former have a far better win percentage in recent times in the shortest format while the latter have been pretty inconsistent. However, England do have the advantage of playing at home and they will be playing at a ground where they have won three out of four T20I matches. The hosts also have more depth in their batting and most of their players have been in good form. But the tourists take the edge when it comes to bowling as they have more variety in their attack. Although they will be without their frontline bowler Jasprit Bumrah, their bowling lineup still looks superior with the likes of Bhuvneshwar, Kuldeep and Chahal. A closely fought contest is expected here and we feel that India with a better bowling attack have their nose slightly ahead.

Final Verdict: Back India to beat England in the first T20I at 2.20 with Betway, 2.10 with Bet365 and 2.26 with Betfair.
