IND vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis
England have been successful in troubling the hosts with the ball. The visitors picked up 8 wickets in the 2nd T20I while defending 166 runs in Chennai.
They finally managed to gain the upper hand as they defended 171 runs in Rajkot beating India by 26 runs. Adil Rashid weaved magic in the middle-over with his right-arm leg break.
Suryakumar Yadav and co. have some thinking to do. They were staring at loss in Chennai too. If it wasn’t for Tilak Verma’s unbeaten 72 off 55 balls, England would have achieved parity much sooner.
In the post-Kohli era, India have to look for someone who can anchor the innings while maintaining a decent strike rate. Most Indian batters have managed to get off to an impressive start.
But what the hosts need right now is for one or two of them to convert them into a much bigger knock. Pune will present a great batting surface and we believe this is a great opportunity for the men in blue to make a comeback and seal the series.

TEAMS PREVIEW
India Preview
India have a great depth in the batting lineup. And that allows the top-order batsmen to play a fearless brand of cricket. Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, and Suryakumar Yadav are all known for their attacking approach to the game.
Samson’s lack of runs is a big concern for India going ahead. Abhishek Sharma, on the other hand, is struggling to convert his starts into a longer knock. He can make a huge impact on the game even if he stays at the crease for the first 4-5 Overs of the game.
Suryakumar Yadav coming in at number 3 may not be a great idea. Tilak Verma fits the bill for number 3. He can adjust his strokeplay and pace the innings according to the situation of the game.
Suryakuamr Yadav has a great range of shots in his repertoire but England pacers seem to be getting the better of him. The skipper needs to try something different here. A change in batting position could work for him.
Hardik Pandya is another key figure in the middle order. He is the finisher for the side and will be one to watch out for. The experienced all-rounder knows how to score quickly as well as build partnerships cautiously right after a collapse.
India have many spin-bowling options in the side with Varun Chakravarthy leading the pack. Mohammad Shami is back in the side and will be crucial with the pace along with Hardik Pandya.
IND Over/Under Betting Tips
Tilak Varma is averaging 3 fours per game this series, he is in fine form and has dominated against the England bowlers. We back him to continue his good form and predict his total 4's tally to be over 2.5 in today's match.
The left-hander was dismissed by an excellent leg break in the third T20I after scoring 18 runs off 14 balls. He is the third-highest run-scorer in the series with 109 runs in three matches and is the only batter who has scored consistently. At Pune in the three T20 matches he has played, Varma scored 74 runs and averages 37 runs per match.
India Predicted Playing XI:
Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Dhruv Jurel, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy

England Preview
Jos Buttler will be delighted with his team’s comeback in the 3rd T20I. He will back his players to carry the momentum into this game to achieve series parity.
Mark Wood, Brydon Carse, and Jofra Archer looked promising with the ball. Despite what their economy rates suggest, they were quite successful in delivering breakthroughs that changed the course of the game.
Jamie Overton and Adil Rashid were the stars of the match. Rashid’s 1 for 15 from his 4 Overs helped squeeze the flow of runs during the middle over of India’s run-chase.
The right-arm leggie had delivered figures of 1 for 14 in the previous game in Chennai. The best way forward for England will be to back their strengths. They’ve got a strong pace attack.
The visitors should be aiming at beating Indian batters with pace while Rashid continues doing his job in the middle overs. In the batting lineup, Ben Duckett seems to have found his form at the top.
Jos Buttler also looked good in the first two outings and will be crucial at number 3. Philip Salt continues to struggle to find his rhythm while Harry Brook also can’t seem to get going at number 4.
Despite such big names in the batting lineup, England have failed to impress with the bat. They’ve got some depth in the batting order with Liam Livingstone and Jamie Smith coming in at 5 and 6 followed by the likes of Overton and Carse, both of whom can play the long ball and score quick runs.
ENG Over/Under Betting Tips
After a string of low scores (0 and 13) in the first two T20Is, Livingstone finally found his form, scoring 43 runs off 24 balls in the third T20I. He seems to have deciphered the Indian spinners' bowling, and with the series on the line, we can expect a strong performance from him in today's match.
The England captain is the only batter to have scored two 40+ scores in the series. He has accumulated 137 runs and is the series' leading run-scorer. Given his current form and dominance against Indian spinners, we predict that Buttler will again perform well and score over 25 runs.
England Predicted Playing XI:
Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler (c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith (wk), Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It will be partly cloudy in Pune with a high of 32 degrees Celsius. Though a few days are expected to be cloudy this week in the city, there are no signs of rain and we can expect an uninterrupted game of cricket between these two sides.
IND vs ENG Pitch Report
It is a balanced wicket where both batters and bowlers can find some help. The highest score successfully chased at this venue was 158 runs by India against England back in 2012. In 2023, Sri Lanka recorded the highest total by any team at this venue when they scored 206 runs batting first against India. The average 1st innings score in the 4 T20Is played here is 166 runs. We reckon anything over 180-185 will be a competitive total at this venue.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
India has won all the three coin tosses in the series so far, for this game we predict the luck to be in favour of the visitors and back them to win the coin toss.
It has been a low scoring series so far, where no team has scored over 180 runs and expect a similar kind of track for today's match at Pune, where spinners will be highly impactful and a moderate scoring game is on the cards.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams bowling first have won 6 of the last 10 T20 matches played at this venue in Pune. Though the recent matches have been qutie low-scoring, the venue has witnessed high-scoring encounters in the past. Both teams have a deep batting lineup that features some of the big stars in T20 cricket. They will back themselves to chase down a target.
IND vs ENG
Winning Prediction
England may have looked threatening with the ball in the last two outings. However, they haven’t got answers with the bat. India have plenty of reliable batters who can make up for the lack of form of some of their key players. Overall, India has a clear edge in this contest and will start as favorites in our match prediction.
