IND vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis
Any series in any format between India and England is one which gets cricket fans across the globe excited and talking! This five match T20I series, which will be followed by a three game ODI series ahead of next month's ICC Champions Trophy, will be sure to have neutrals as well as passionate India and England supporters glued to each fixture.
There is more than the usual excitement ahead of this series as there is the big global tournament coming next month. Furthermore, England are under new management in this format with their Test head honcho, Brendan McCullum, who has changed the team's entire approach to Test cricket, bringing the same approach to white ball cricket.
But will England be able to take on the might of India in their own backyard and go toe to toe with them? That is the question ahead of this opener which sees both teams field full teams.

TEAMS PREVIEW
India Preview
Many international teams would not have been able to deal with the loss of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja at the same time whilst remaining competitive in T20I cricket but India are no ordinary side!
Those three generational players called time on their T20I careers after the T20 World Cup last July but India have played so many games without them over the last few years that all the players in their side now have experience as well as all the key skills to thrive at this level.
With the bat, captain Suryakumar Yadav, Abhishek Sharma and Rinku Singh are likely to bring the fireworks with the likes of Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson still playing positively but looking to also bat some time.
Mohammed Shami makes a welcome return to international cricket and he is likely to be well supported by the spin pairing of Ravi Bishnoi and Varun Chakravarthy in this opener.
IND Over/Under Betting Tips
Tilak Varma has been at the top of his game, having smashed 280 runs in the last series against South Africa, including two centuries in consecutive matches. The left-hander enters this series on the back of a strong run of form in international cricket. We expect him to continue his dominance in home conditions and have a successful outing in the first T20I against the fiery pace attack of England.
India Predicted Playing XI:
Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (C), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel (VC), Mohammad Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi
India Actual Playing XI:
Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi
England Preview
England are another T20I side who have moved on from a group of players who had served them so well over the previous decade with the likes of Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali and Dawid Malan no longer in the thoughts of the selectors.
Jos Buttler continues to lead the side and it will be interesting to see how he works with the new coach after he seemed a little put out and not at his best under the last regime. McCullum will no doubt be keen to empower the likes of Ben Duckett, Harry Brook and Jacob Bethell, all of who he has seen flourish in Test cricket.
With the ball, England could well unleash the new ball pairing of Jofra Archer and Mark Wood to send down some rockets at the Indian batters. Buttler also has some strong spin options as well with Rehan Ahmed and the experienced Adil Rashid likely to start in this game.
England Predicted Playing XI:
Jos Buttler (c), Phil Salt (wk), Ben Duckett, Liam Livingstone, Harry Brook, Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton, Rehan Ahmed, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood
England Actual Playing XI:
Harry Brook, Ben Duckett, Jacob Bethell, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Overton, Jos Buttler, Philip Salt, Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood

High ScoringPace Bowling

High Turn
Of the bowlers, pacers tend to have to work harder than spinners to pick up wickets at Eden Gardens, although the whole venue is also seen as batter friendly. Whoever bats first will be looking to post a score around 200 on Wednesday evening.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
We are backing the visitors England to Win the Coin Toss in the 1st T20I.
The pitch at Eden Gardens offers a good batting surface, with the average total match score in the last three T20Is played at this venue being 345 runs. Two of the last three T20I matches played at this venue have seen scores exceeding 350. With two strong batting lineups facing each other, expect a high-scoring game.
Toss: To Bat
Three of the last four T20Is at Eden Gardens have been won by the team batting first and with the conditions unlikely to change much across the evening, we predict that both captains will want to bat first ahead of this game.
IND vs ENG
Winning Prediction
On a spin-friendly pitch, it is likely that Ravi Bishnoi and Varun Chakravarthy will have a big say in the outcome of this game. England will no doubt look to attack them from ball one but their variations are prime for dismissing batters who are too aggressive against them! This should be a good contest but we expect India to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
