India vs England, 3rd T20I Match Prediction

The contest in Rajkot will be the 27th head-to-head meeting between the sides in the T20I format with India leading 15-11. None of the previous 26 matches have ended in a draw and that tradition could continue on Tuesday with no rain forecasted. India will rely on the services of Tilak Varma, having played a match-winning 72-run knock in Chennai.

England on the other hand will rely on Jos Buttler and Harry Brook, as they look to keep alive the team’s hopes in the series. England have lost the last three head-to-head meetings against India, including the T20 World Cup semifinal in the West Indies in June.
