India will take on England in the third T20I at the Niranjan Shah Stadium, Rajkot on Tuesday. The hosts would look to take an unassailable lead in the series whereas the visitors would aim to stay afloat in the series as this will be a must-win game for them.
Tilak Varma was brilliant for the hosts in the previous game, scoring an unbeaten 72 runs off just 55 balls in the run-chase of 166. The Indian bowlers continued to impress in the second game and they would look to carry the good form.
On the other hand, the visitors would want a better batting effort as they haven’t been able to bring out their best, barring Jos Buttler.
