Virat Kohli hit his second successive unbeaten score in the 70s in the third T20I on Tuesday and there can be no doubt that he is now back to his best. However, no other India batsman made a score above 24 resulting in a target which was extremely hard to defend for the bowlers. Like in the second T20I, Virat will need a team-mate to bat with him to post a total which will be too imposing for England.
Rohit Sharma returned to the side at the top of the order with a 17 ball 15. He’ll be looking to build on this in the next game.
For England, Mark Wood caught the eye with impressive figures of 3-31, but don’t be surprised if he is rested again to protect him from any potential injuries. If that does happen, Jofra Archer will be expected to lead the attack and take crucial wickets.

India vs England 4th T20 Prediction & Betting Tips
England went back ahead in the series on Tuesday, losing only 2 wickets as they successfully chased down the target of 157 with 10 balls to spare. But with two games in the T20I series to go, which way will this crucial fourth game go. Read on as we preview the penultimate game between India and England. The match will be played in Ahmedabad, India and will get underway at 19:00 local time.
The captain who has won the toss has gone on to win the game in each of the matches so far in the series. But is it as simple as win the toss, win the game? Surely not, if another India batsman had hit a half-century then England would have struggled to reach the target.
India have shown recently that they are never more dangerous than after a defeat. After the Adelaide thrashing in the Test series in Australia they bounced back with an 8 wicket win in Melbourne. They then went down by 227 runs in Chennai before putting England to the sword by 317 runs at the same venue. And after losing the first T20I, they won the second by 7 wickets with 13 balls remaining in Ahmedabad.
We expect England to rest Mark Wood again which will significantly lessen their bowling attack and could be the difference between an India batsman making 25 or 50. Overall, we expect India to show strong character and level the series.

IND vs ENG Toss Prediction
Although England will be keen to try and win games from different positions, we think they are prioritising winning the series over team strategy development. Whoever gets to choose out of Kohli and Morgan will elect to field first.
Pitch Report
There was talk of Moeen Ali coming in for England ahead of the previous game so, although the pitch will be similar, don’t be surprised if we see more spin.
Weather Report
It will be hot once again in Ahmedabad with temperatures falling from a high of 39 to the mid and low 30s for the game.

India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
India responded to defeat in the first T20I by handing debuts to Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav. We expect them to continue with the same team from the last game which saw Rohit Sharma return to the side.
IND Key Players
Virat Kohli - Back-to-back unbeaten innings of 73 and 77 from the captain have put England on the back foot in successive games. Although there were no crowds in the stadium, and won’t be in the final two games, Kohli still played in a manner that suffocated the England bowlers.
Rishabh Pant - The wicketkeeper has performed well with the gloves and been a part of good partnerships with the bat in all three games in the series. However, he has been dismissed in the 20s in each innings and must kick on in this match. Even just an extra over of Pant batting could be the difference between the sides.
Bhuveneshwar Kumar - His bowling has been tight throughout the series with an economy rate of 7.50 and under in each game. He needs other bowlers to back him up as the England batsmen are treating him with due respect.
IND Team Form
India have now lost three of their last four games in this format. But, led by Kohli, they will be confident of leveling the series once again.
We’ve selected three wicket-keepers in Jos Buttler (9.5), Jonny Bairstow (9.5) and Rishabh Pant (8.5) who have all shown their brilliance with the bat in the series. With Buttler opening the batting, he has maximum opportunity to deliver.
Batsmen
Virak Kohli at 10, Rohit Sharma at 10, Jason Roy at 9 and Dawid Malan at 9 will be our batsmen again. Kohli’s consistency with the bat is now rivalling that of Steve Smith in Test cricket!
All-rounders
Washington Sundar at 8.5 is the only all-rounder we’ve selected. England’s batsmen never look too comfortable when facing his spin bowling and he reduced them to 26 runs from his 4 overs in the last game.
Bowlers
We’ve gone for a combination of Bhuvneshwar Kumar at 8.5 alongside Jofra Archer at 9 and Adil Rashid 8.5 with the ball. There is every chance that all three will open the bowling and trouble the opposing batsmen from the off.
Captain/Vice-captain
Virat Kohli will be our skipper while Jonny Bairstow will be his deputy.

England Team News & Playing 11
ENG Team News
England will be delighted to have returned to winning ways after Sunday’s big defeat. Jos Buttler coming into form at the top of the order is a big plus for Eoin Morgan’s side.
ENG Key Players
Jos Buttler - He batted throughout the innings for his unbeaten 83 from 52 balls, his first major contribution with the bat during the series. He allows other batsmen to build their innings at the other end and forces the opposition bowlers to alter their plans.
Jonny Bairstow - After a poor return in the Test series, Bairstow has contributed with the bat in each game of the T20I series so far. On Tuesday, his unbeaten 40 came from 28 balls, and his ability to attack from his first ball is a major weapon for England.
Jofra Archer - With Mark Wood expected to be rested, Archer will be asked to carry the pace bowling attack single-handedly again. He will need support from the other bowlers if his penetrating bowling is to reap rewards for the team.
ENG Team Form
England have now won ten of their last thirteen T20I games and will be confident of adding to this record in the next game.
England Predicted Playing 11
Jason Roy, Jos Buttler (wk), Dawid Malan, Johnny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan (c) , Ben Stokes, Sam Curran, Tom Curran, Jofra Archer, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid

The home side are favourites to make it 2-2 in the series
Who will win India vs England 4th T20?
According to the bookmakers, the gap between the two sides is closing again.
We’ll back Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Raul for India. Sharma will have benefited from his first game on Tuesday and KL Raul’s miserable run in the series has to end!
For England, the top three of Buttler, Roy and Malan are the batsmen. Jonny Bairstow is a brilliant batsman but one of the players ahead of him in the order always seems to perform.
We expect Chahal, Kumar and Washington to trouble the England batsmen. Kumar’s bowling has been very good throughout the series and Washington has looked like a threat throughout.
For England, we’ve gone for the obvious choices of Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid. Sam Curran gets the nod in the expected absence of Mark Wood.
Both teams have put in stronger performances as the series has progressed and we now come to the business end. A win for England would secure the series but you can never write off this India side irrespective of how well they have or haven’t performed in the previous game. We back India to bounce back for the second time this series and level it up at 2-2.
