eng vs ind Match Prediction & Analysis

England won the Test match by 7 wickets and went on to level the series 2-2. Now, both teams will move to the T20I format, and the test result will have very little bearing on this match as no player in the Test squad from either side is set to play this match. Both teams are out there to test their bench strength and find the right balance in their squad ahead of the T20I world cups later this year. India has been dominating the T20I circuit off late and England`s only nemesis in T20Is have been India in their home ground. We can expect electrifying action in this T20I series for sure.
