England are favourites to win
After the conclusion of the 2021 five-match Test series on Tuesday, England and India switch formats and begin a three game IT20 series at the Rose Bowl, Southampton on Thursday evening. This is England’s first game in this format since a 3-2 defeat in the Caribbean in January. India beat Ireland 2-0 at the end of last month. Read on as we preview this game. This day-night IT20 begins at 18:00 local time.
England have been one of the most consistent white-ball sides in the world for over seven years and they are always strong on home soil. They will be full of confidence ahead of this game.
India were given a scare in their second IT20 against Ireland but held their nerve and got over the line. Although they will be without some of their top Test players, they will still be able to put out a very strong XI.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sony Six in India, Sky Sports in the UK, FREE Kayo Sports trial in Australia, Spark Sport in New Zealand
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney Plus and Sky Go.
Fielding first is the choice of most captains in Southampton in this format. Although it is not a guarantee of victory, we predict that whoever wins the toss will choose to field first.
The Rose Bowl has hosted plenty of low-scoring games in the T20 Blast this year. We expect a two-paced wicket with something for the pace and spin bowlers.
Cloudless skies and bright sunshine at the start of this game. There will be no worries of any rain interruptions across the duration of the match.

After reaching the T20 World Cup Final in 2016 and the semi-finals in 2021, England will begin life under a new white-ball captain in this match. Eoin Morgan has retired from international cricket with the baton passed to form keeper-batter Jos Buttler.
England won two of their five matches in the Caribbean in this format in January this year. However, they are a very strong side in this and ODIs and have a very strong record at home.
Jos Buttler (c) (wk), Jason Roy, Phil Salt, Dawid Malan, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, David Willey, Matt Parkinson, Tymal Mills, Chris Jordan, Reece Topley
The visitors have a very strong IT20 squad for this series but are expected not to pick any of the players who featured in the five-day Test defeat at Edgbaston earlier this week. The recent series in Ireland gave fringe international players an opportunity to stake their claim in this format.
India have been in excellent IT20 form ever since they had a poor start to the T20 World Cup. They have beaten South Africa and Ireland across their last five IT20s.
Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma (c), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Deepak Hooda, Hardik Pandya, Sanju Samson (wk), Axar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar
These two sides are two of the best white ball sides in the world and they have been very well matched over the years in this format. India won the last series 3-2 at home in 2021 but also beat England 2-1 away in 2018.

After their impressive victory in the Test on Tuesday, the bookies have installed England as favourites for this first IT20 in this match.
With Jos Buttler leading one side and Rohit Sharma leading the other, we will have two of the biggest names and most consistent IT20 batters on show in this game.
Jos Buttler, Jason Roy and Dawid Malan are our picks for England with the bat. Malan has a health average of 41.30 from 35 innings.
We are backing Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad for India with the bat. Gaikwad scored his first international half-century in the series against South Africa last month.
For England, Tymal Mills, Matt Parkinson and Reece Topley are our bowling picks for England. Topley took 4-37 in a recent T20 Blast fixture.
Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan and Harshal Patel are our bowling recommendations for India. Chahal has seven wickets from his last four IT20s.
Whenever England and India meet in any format, it is always a game played in front of capacity crowds full of partisan support. We expect this match to be no different and are predicting a close game in Southampton. We are backing England to get a win in their first game under their new captain.
