It was no surprise to see Virat Kohli return to form with an unbeaten 73 from 49 balls, alongside debutant Ishan Kishan who made a half-century, India’s batting fired strongly on Sunday. However, KL Rahul’s place at the top of the order must be under threat after returning a combined total of 1 run from the two games.
England’s frontline bowlers were impressive with Sam Curran (5.5) and Jofra Archer (6) both returning strong economy rates. However, Kohli, Kishan and Pant were able to break the shackles by successfully attacking Chris Jordan (13.41), Tom Curran (13) and Ben Stokes (17).
Jason Roy continued his impressive batting form in the series, backing up his 49 in the first game with 46 in Sunday’s match.

India vs England 3rd T20 Prediction & Betting Tips
India leveled the series on Sunday, chasing down the target with 13 balls remaining and winning the game by 7 wickets. But which way will the next game in the series go? Read on as we preview the third game in this T20I series between India and England. The match will be played in Ahmedabad, India and will get underway at 19:00 local time.
Sunday’s game was India’s first T20I victory at home since beating Sri Lanka by 78 runs in Pune in January 2020 and England’s first defeat away from home since losing by 1 run to South Africa in February 2020.
India’s win was built on the tight bowling from all five of their bowlers. Kumar, Sundar, Thakur, Pandya and Chahal all with economy rates between 7 and 8.5. The early wicket of Buttler after only 3 balls was also key to laying the foundation on which Kohli and Kishan were able to build.
England wasn’t tempted to open the bowling with Adil Rashid in the second game although maybe they’ll revert to that approach this time around. The desire to not overwork the injury prone Mark Wood and to give squad players game time means they may well ring the changes throughout the series and may struggle for consistent performances as a result. Overall, we expect India to continue the form from Sunday and run out winners again.

India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
KL Rahul’s struggles at the top of the order combined with the end of Rohit Sharma’s rest period will surely see a change at the top of the India batting order. Ishan Kishan hit four sixes on debut and looked at home at international level.
IND Key Players
Rohit Sharma - The opening batsman has more centuries (4) in this format than any other player and is second only to Virat Kohli with 25 half-centuries. His return will be a huge boost to India and a big worry for England.
Virat Kohli - India’s captain returned to form on Sunday and now his duck in Friday’s game is long forgotten. We expect Virat to back up his unbeaten 73 with more runs on Tuesday and get the Ahmedabad crowd chanting his name once again.
Washington Sundar - Multi-dimensional players are always crucial in the T20 game and Sundar balances India’s side nicely. At only 21 years of age, he already has 28 T20I caps to his name and a long successful international career is expected.
IND Team Form
India ended their short blip of successive defeats in the format in Sunday’s game. Don’t be surprised if they now go on a long unbeaten run.
We’ve selected Jos Buttler (9.5) and Rishabh Pant (8.5) who both bat in the top four. Pant has looked impressive in both games, Buttler won’t be kept quiet forever.
Batsmen
Virat Kohli at 10, Rohit Sharma at 10, Jason Roy at 9 and Dawid Malan at 9 will be our batsmen. You simply can’t ignore Rohit’s numbers so we took the first opportunity to select him with his period of rest over.
All-rounders
Ben Stokes at 9 alongside Hardik Pandya at 9 are selected as our all-rounders. Stokes would benefit from seeing how Pandya bowled in the last game as England’s talisman went for 17 from his only over.
Bowlers
We’ve gone for an a combination of Bhuvneshwar Kumar at 8.5 alongside Jofra Archer at 9 and Adil Rashid 8.5 as our bowlers. Archer went wicketless in Sunday’s game but we expect him to come back strongly this time.
Captain/Vice-captain
Rohit Sharma will be our skipper while Virat Kohli will be his deputy.
IND vs ENG Dream11 Team Prediction
Batsmen:Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma (c), Jason Roy, Dawid Malan
All Rounder:Ben Stokes, Hardik Pandya
Wicket Keeper:Jos Buttler, Rishabh Pant
Bowler:Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid
England Team News & Playing 11
ENG Team News
England were timid and sloppy in Sunday’s game and will be keen to bounce back immediately. Jason Roy’s top scores of high 40s are not sufficient and he’ll need someone else to support him with big runs this time around.
ENG Key Players
Jason Roy - The opener came into this series on the back of some disappointing returns in white ball cricket since the 2019 World Cup. However, he is now the man in form with the bat but will be wanting to go beyond 50 and kick on this time.
Dawid Malan - Although he only made 24 on Sunday, the world’s no.1 ranked T20I batsman always manages to contribute to the team total. Coming in at one wicket down, he is able to rebuild from an early wicket before accelerating the run-rate as the innings develops.
Adil Rashid - The only spin bowler in England’s line-ups so far in the series, he has taken crucial wickets and broke the Kohli - Kishan partnership on Sunday. He will be looking to reduce his economy rate after almost going at 10 an over in the defeat.
ENG Team Form
England’s run of four successive T20I victories was brought to a screeching halt on Sunday and it will take a real team effort to get on top of a resurgent India in the final three games in the series.
England Predicted Playing 11
Jason Roy, Jos Buttler (wk), Dawid Malan, Johnny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan (c) , Ben Stokes, Sam Curran, Jofra Archer, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood

The home side are favourites to make it two wins in a row
Who will win India vs England 3rd T20?
According to the bookmakers, the gap between the two sides has widened with India now firmly on top.
Kohli, Sharma and Pant will be the three batsmen we’ll back from India. Kohli roared back on Sunday and, alongside Rohit Sharma, will be looking to go big again.
For England, we are backing their top three of Buttler, Roy and Malan again. At the top of the order Jason Roy has the best opportunity to make runs and has taken advantage in both games so far.
We expect Chahal, Kumar and Chahar to trouble the England batsmen the mostl. India’s bowling was very impressive across the board in the last game.
For England, we’ve combined Adil Rashid’s wrist spin with the pace of Jofra Archer and Mark Wood who we expect to be selected after being rested on Sunday.
England haven’t lost many games in white ball cricket over recent years so it will be very interesting to see if they are able to respond in this third game. However, they are facing a highly confident India side in front of their passionate supporters with Rohit Sharma returning to the team. We back India to win and go 2-1 up in the series.
