IND vs ENG 1st T20I: Fantasy Preview!!!
For punters who love to gamble on cricket matches, here are some tips analysis written by one of our own, Probuddha Bhattacharjee.
Both the teams are switching to the T20 format after a gap. The last series that India played was against Bangladesh at their home in October, 2024. The Suryakumar Yadav-led team dominated the three matches in the series and clean swept the visitors in the series.
On the other hand, the T20I engagement of England was more recent. They played West Indies in a five match series in November, 2024. England managed to win the series by 3-1 margin.
While India will be keen on continuing their dominance at home and start off on a winning note in this series, England will be looking to create an upset here. Notably, England haven't won a T20I series against India in a decade. They will be looking to change that as quickly as possible.
IND vs ENG 1st T20I: Match Preview!!!
Let's take a look at the match Preview for the much-anticipated 1st T20I between India and England written by one of our own, Debashis Sarangi.
Led by Suryakumar Yadav, India have a robust squad comprising several outright match-winners throughout the lineup. While Sanju Samson forms an explosive top-order with Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma, the presence of Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh and Nitish Reddy adds firepower to the entire lineup.
However, with Jasprit Bumrah absent and Mohammed Shami coming from a long injury layoff, India will primarily rely on the in-form Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarthy to spearhead their bowling unit.
This article will shed light on the pitch report, preview, probable playing XI and winner prediction of the upcoming first T20I.
