Who Will the Match?
The first T20I between India and England is going to be a very close match. The two teams are strong in themselves, but the batting order of India is great and the bowling of England is a potent one. But if home advantage and form are factored in, the Indians would have the better of it playing in front of their home crowd. Suryakumar Yadav’s India will look to ride familiar conditions to great success and take a winning lead in the series.
