The pitch at Rajkot provides the batsmen plenty of opportunities to score runs. The quick outfield and small boundaries will allow the batsmen to play the big shots with ease and we are likely to see a couple of big overs.
Buttler is in excellent form with the bat and has scored at least 45 runs in both his innings. He has an average of close to 36 runs and has scored 26 or more runs in 3 of his last 4 innings against India. We are backing him to continue playing well.
After losing 2 matches on the trot, England will be fighting to keep the series alive as they face India for the 3rd T20I on Tuesday at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot.
The two teams have faced each other in 26 matches. India won 15 and England won 11.
This match can be watched live on Disney+ Hotstar App and Star Sports Network.
The hosts put up yet another good performance on Saturday to gain a 2-0 lead over England in the 5-0 series. However, there were a few nervous moments for the team and a few areas where they would like to improve going ahead.
India has a very strong batting line-up and that was a big advantage for them in the previous match. Despite the openers falling cheaply, the hosts were able to chase down the target thanks to an excellent knock from Tilak Varma. He held on to one end of the crease and continued to score runs even as wickets continued to fall at the other end.
While Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma played well in the first T20, the others including Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya are yet to play a big knock. Washington Sundar, who has brought in to replace an injured Nitish Reddy played an important role in India’s win and will retain his place in the team.
Arshdeep Singh has been brilliant with the new ball and has kept things tight at one end. The spinners have been excellent as well, with Varun Chakravarthy leading the pack. He will be supported by Axar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi.
England will be pretty disappointed with the way they played in the first two games. They now face a must-win situation if they want to keep the series alive.
The batting from England has been very disappointing, to say the least. Barring skipper Jos Buttler, none of the batsmen have been able to make much of an impact. Buttler is the leading run-scorer of the tournament with 113 runs.
The opening pair of Phil Salt and Ben Duckett has struggled in both the matches and the team will expect a better start from them. Brydon Carse, who was playing for the first time in India, was impressive with both, the bat and the ball, and the team will expect a similar performance from him in this match.
He will be joined by Jamie Smith, Harry Brook, and Liam Livingstone in the middle order. The bowling from England hasn’t been up to the mark either. Jofra Archer, who is the team’s most experienced seamer, has picked only 3 wickets in 2 games.
Mark Wood and Jamie Overton have also been quite expensive.
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.
The pitch at Rajkot is hard and flat, offering excellent pace and bounce. The batsmen will enjoy batting here, especially during the first half. The outfield is quick and we can expect plenty of runs. However, the surface becomes two-paced in the second innings and scoring runs becomes difficult.
Anything over 180 will be difficult to chase.
The weather will be clear with temperatures of around 25 degrees.
We are backing India in winning this match. They have won both matches so far and will be feeling confident as they head here. England needs to improve on all fronts if they want to get back to winning ways.
Bet on India to win.
