Cricket Match Prediction | India vs England | 3rd T20I | Jan 28 – Can IND win the series with 2 matches to spare?

January 27, 2025

IND vs ENG Match Analysis

India and England will play each other in the 3rd match of the five-match T20I series on January 28, 2025, at 7:30 PM BST at Niranjan Shah Stadium, Rajkot.

India cruised to an easy victory in the first game, but the second win required a fight. England came tantalizingly close to securing the second match, but Tilak Verma’s brilliance ensured India heads into the third T20I unbeaten. Can India clinch the series in this match, or will England keep their hopes alive?

England currently sits third in the ICC Men’s T20I team rankings, but their recent performances have been below par. Out of their last five games, they have secured just one win, with one game ending without a result. In the ongoing five-match series against India, England has already lost the first two matches and now faces the risk of losing the series if they fail to win the third T20I in Rajkot.

IND vs ENG Team Preview & Squads

India

India is in red-hot form in T20I cricket, holding the top spot in the ICC Men’s T20I team rankings with 268 rating points.

The series against England began with a dominant performance at Eden Gardens, where India secured a comprehensive 7-wicket victory with over seven overs to spare. Varun Chakravarthy’s crafty spin and Abhishek Sharma’s explosive batting gave India the early advantage. Bowling first, India restricted England to a modest 132 all out in 20 overs. Apart from Jos Buttler, no English batter managed to settle, with Chakravarthy shining as the standout bowler, claiming 3 wickets for 23 runs in his 4 overs. Arshdeep Singh, Hardik Pandya, and Axar Patel also contributed with two wickets each.

In the second game, IND bowled first once again. While they started strongly, England managed to push their total to 165 for 9 in 20 overs. Axar Patel impressed with 2 wickets for 32 runs, and Varun Chakravarthy added 2 more to his tally, conceding 38 runs. However, the chase began on a shaky note for India, losing two early wickets in the third over. Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, Tilak Varma’s brilliance rescued the innings. His unbeaten knock of 72 off just 55 balls, featuring 4 fours and 5 sixes, steered India to a crucial victory.

Tilak Varma has been in phenomenal form, averaging 185 in his last six matches, with 371 runs at a blistering strike rate of 175. Varun Chakravarthy has also been a key weapon, claiming 22 wickets in his last nine matches while maintaining an economy rate of under 8 runs per over. India’s spin attack continues to trouble England, and with the team unbeaten in their last five matches on home soil, they look poised to seal the series in the third T20I.

England

England’s performance in the first T20I was largely forgettable, with the batters struggling against a dominant Indian bowling attack. Batting first, England managed just 132 runs, with captain Jos Buttler contributing a fighting 68. Seven of England’s batters were dismissed for single-digit scores, highlighting their struggles. The bowlers didn’t fare much better, apart from Jofra Archer, who delivered an impressive spell, taking 2 wickets for 21 runs in 4 overs. However, India comfortably chased down the target in the 13th over.

The second T20I in Chennai saw an improved showing from ENG, though it still wasn’t enough to secure a victory. Batting first, they posted a total of 165 for 9, with Jos Buttler top-scoring again with 45 runs. Contributions from Jamie Smith (22) and Brydon Carse (31) helped push the total to a respectable figure. In defense, England reduced India to 78 for 5 by the 10th over, but Tilak Verma’s masterful innings turned the game in India’s favor. Brydon Carse was the standout bowler with figures of 3 for 29.

England continues to struggle with scoring runs in Indian conditions, and their bowling attack hasn’t been consistent. A major re-strategizing effort will be needed if they are to stay alive in this crucial contest.

The SYS boast a dynamic batting lineup packed with talent. Aggressive opener Aaron Jones sets the tempo early with his fearless stroke play, energizing the powerplay. Middle-order mainstay Jaker Ali brings a mix of creativity and reliability, ensuring smooth transitions between innings.

In the 32nd match of the Bangladesh Premier League 2025, held in Chattogram, the Khulna Tigers edged past the Sylhet Strikers by 6 wickets in a thrilling finish with just one ball to spare.Batting first, the Sylhet Strikers managed 152/9, with contributions from their middle-order but struggling against Khulna’s disciplined bowling attack.

RAJ vs SYS Outfield Report

Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur

The pitch at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur is known for its balanced nature, offering both batters and bowlers opportunities. Initially, pacers can generate some swing, but as the game progresses, the surface tends to favor spinners, especially with its slower pace and tendency to turn.

Weather-wise, Mirpur enjoys mild conditions during the cricket season. In January, temperatures typically range between 15°C to 25°C, which creates favorable playing conditions. However, during evening games, dew can be a factor, making the ball more difficult to handle for bowlers and aiding the batting side in the second innings.

Shere Bangla Stadium has been a staple venue for high-profile T20 matches, including international games and domestic tournaments like the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). The average first-innings score typically falls between 150 and 160, though aggressive batting can push totals well past 200 on favorable days.
