In the 2nd T20I of the five-match series, the reigning World T20 champions (IND vs ENG) by a significant margin of seven wickets in the first T20I. Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium will host the second match of the Twenty20 International series on January 25 at 7:00 PM (IST).
In the first Twenty20 International, India, spearheaded by Suryakumar Yadav, shut out the English with a score of 132 runs in the first innings and chased down the target in 12.5 overs. Aside from that, the blue-clad men have been playing fantastically in their past five Twenty20 Internationals, winning four of them and losing only one. Additionally, they won the four-match T20I series against South Africa in November with a score of 3-1. In order to extend their advantage in the five-match series from 1-0 to 2-0, India will now try to win this match.
Jos Buttler‘s England, on the other side, will be hoping to bounce back after a crushing loss in the opening match of the T20I series. In their last five Twenty20 Internationals, they have won two games and lost two, along with one “no-result” match. Attempting to win this game and tie the series at one will be the tourists’ goal.
The hosts may select a bowlers-heavy playing XI in the second Twenty20 International of the series to put pressure on the English team, while the English batting attack may falter at the Chennai ground. The outcome of this game will be crucial in determining how the series develops.
