The third match of the five-match T20 series between India and England will be played at Nottingham on Tuesday, July 7. India trail 0-1 in the series after losing the previous match. It was India’s third T20 International defeat under Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy. Earlier the team also lost two matches against Ireland. If India want to win the series, they will have to win the third T20 International at any cost.

There is no change in batting order
In the second T20 match, India made one change in the playing XI and replaced Sanju Samson with Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Vaibhav could not make a big knock in his debut match, but it is certain that he will be given a chance in the third T20I as well. In this situation, Samson will have to sit out once again. Abhishek Sharma will open the innings with Vaibhav. Ishan Kishan will bat at number three and skipper Shreyas will bat at number four. This means that India will not make any changes in the batting order.
Will Bishnoi leave the team? Now Pacers counter attack
The team management led by captain Shreyas Iyer is looking to include an additional fast bowler in the final 11, while leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi’s place is under threat. Bishnoi was not in full form in the second T20 match in Manchester. He bowled three back-foot no-balls in the 17th over of the innings and conceded 29 runs. Gave 60 runs without taking a single wicket in four overs. This has raised questions about his place in the team. Given the conditions at Trent Bridge, Bishnoi’s chances of being included in the final 11 are considered slim. Fast bowler Prince Yadav can be considered as his replacement. His ability to generate swing and extra movement makes him a better option than the popular Krishna.
Indian batsmen have to show strength
The Indian batting, which has played most of its matches on flat pitches for the past six months, including the IPL, has struggled against England’s extra bounce, swing of the ball and the variety of bowlers like Sam Curran. Skipper Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan have certainly scored some runs, but neither has been able to completely dominate the English bowlers. India scored 189 and 190 in the last two matches, but both times fell short by at least 25 to 30 runs.
Probable Playing XI of Both Teams:
India: Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Shreyas Iyer (captain), Tilak Verma, Akshar Patel, Shivam Dubey, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakraborty, Arshdeep Singh, Prince Yadav.
England: Phil Salt, Jos Buttler (wicketkeeper), Harry Brook (captain), Jacob Bethel, Tom Benton, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson, Josh Tongue, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer
IND vs ENG: Big challenge for Team India to save the series; The real test of Shreyas Iyer’s leadership, when and what time is the third match?
