India vs England Match Preview, 3rd T20I

Team India (IND) will take on England (ENG) in the third T20I at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot, on Tuesday, January 28. After winning the first two T20Is, India are in a commanding position with a lead of 2-0 in the five-match series. It has been a complete team effort which has gone well for India as they have all the boxes checked in every department. On the other hand, England have looked good only in patches. 

Speaking of England, they have suffered playing against the spin as Varun Chakaravarthy, Washington Sundar and Ravi Bishnoi have troubled them a lot. Though they scored 110 odd runs against the spin in the second ODI, they lost six wickets while doing so and consumed 14 overs. England are in dire need to keep the series alive with a win and not turn the last two games into a dead rubber.
