ENG vs IND 2nd T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips
England and India go head to head in the second of three IT20s at Edgbaston on Saturday afternoon. The opening game saw India win by 50 runs after posting 198-8 at the Ageas Bowl, Southampton on Thursday. In reply, ENgland were dismissed for 148 with no player scoring more than 36. Read on as we preview this game. This second IT20 begins at 14:30 local time.
After many years of success in white ball cricket and struggling in Tests, it seems that the tables have turned for England. However, they are a strong side at home and will be supported by a passionate crowd in Birmingham.
India are in excellent form in T20 cricket and have a squad depth that many other countries are jealous of. They were exceptional in Southampton but may struggle to produce a replica performance in this game.

England Team News & Playing 11
ENG Team News
Not a lot went well for the hosts in Southampton with only four batters making double figure scores. Indeed two of England’s top four got ducks and they never recovered. However, we expect Jos Buttler to lead the same XI into this match in Birmingham.
ENG Key Players
- Jos Buttler- it certainly was not a dream start as permanent captain for the keeper-batter. He lasted only one ball with the bat but did take two catches behind the stumps.
- Liam Livingstone- the batting all-rounder has had a spectacular 12 months but he failed with both bat and ball on Thursday. He will be very determined to bounce back in this IT20.
- Moeen Ali- the all-rounder was England’s best performer in the opening IT20. He hit 36 runs from 20 balls after taking the wickets of both Indian openers.
ENG Team Form
England are in a worrying run of form with the T20 World Cup only three and a half months away. England have lost three of their last four games in this format.
England Predicted Playing 11
Jos Buttler (c) (wk), Jason Roy, Dawid Malan, Liam Livingstone, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Moeen Ali, Tymal Mills, Chris Jordan, Matt Parkinson, Reece Topley

IND Team News
The visitors got off to an excellent start in the series on Thursday and will have even greater squad depth to choose from for this match with the availability of their Test players. Arshdeep Singh impressed on debut and we expect India to pick the same XI for this match.
IND Key Players
- Rohit Sharma- India’s captain returned to the team after illness and impressed with 24 runs from 14 balls in Southampton. He struck five fours in his innings.
- Hardik Pandya- the all-rounder has been in incredible form in 2022 and starred in the first game of the series. He hit 51 runs from 33 balls and took 4-33 on Thursday.
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar- the right arm pace bowler has taken 271 international wickets with 5-wicket hauls in Tests, ODIs and T20Is.
IND Team Form
India have carried their strong recent form against South Africa and Ireland into this series against England. They are targeting their fourth successive victory in this format.

🏆 England vs India Prediction
Although India have been in stronger form than England in this format over recent games, we expected a closer contest in the first IT20. Very little went England’s way in Southampton and we expect a far more complete performance from the hosts. We are predicting a high scoring match with England getting the victory.
