India vs England – 2nd T20I Betting Tips

India and England will face off in the second T20I of the five-match series in Ahmedabad on Sunday.

The home team will be coming in this match low-on-confidence after suffering a thrashing eight-wicket defeat in the series opener.

Therefore, the team management will be hoping to see some reaction from the players in the match on Sunday.

On the other hand, the English team will be coming in this match high-on-confidence after a near-perfect performance in the first match of the series on Friday at the same venue.

The visitors team management will be hoping to see the players continue their impressive run and help the side in securing a 2-0 lead in the five-T20I series.

India Form and Team news:

Team India will be eager to return to winning ways after humiliation in the first T20I but the manner of defeat on Friday will be a cause of concern for the team management.

In the absence of explosive opening batsman Rohit Sharma, who was rested for the couple of games as confirmed by captain Virat Kohli, the home team’s batting lineup looked a bit thin, and it will be interesting to see how they can recover from a performance where they only managed to score 124 runs in their allotted 20 overs.

The form of captain Kohli will be a cause of concern for the team management as well as he has already lost his wicket on naught three times in seven innings against England since their tour started.

Coach Ravi Shastri will be hoping that their star batsman will return to his very best in the all-important clash on Sunday.

With Kohli out of form and Sharma rested, the onus of scoring bulk of the runs will be on the likes of in-form Shreyas Iyer, wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, stylish right-hander KL Rahul and veteran opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan to produce timely breakthroughs.

On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of spin trio of Axar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal and Washington Sundar to produce timely breakthroughs.

England Form and Team News:

England will be hoping to continue their good run after an impressive outing on Friday in difficult conditions.

After winning so comfortably in the first match, there will be no major changes expected in the visitors’ team for the second match as well.

On the batting front, the visiting team will be heavily relying on the likes of in-form opening batsman Jason Roy, captain Eoin Morgan, dangerous wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler and left-hander Dawid Malan to score bulk of the runs.

On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood and Chris Jordan to produce timely breakthroughs and put the home team under pressure.
