Team India is set to start its white-ball campaign in 2025 as they take on England in the opening contest of the five-match T20I contest on Wednesday (Jan 22). Suryakumar Yadav will lead India as the T20I skipper looks to impress on his return to the side. The Indian team will also have the likes of Hardik Pandya, Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma while England will be led by Jos Buttler. Ahead of the match here is the match prediction. <o:p></o:p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">IND vs ENG, 1st T20I match prediction<o:p></o:p></h2>
India and England have squared off 24 times in the T20I format, with the hosts winning on 13 occasions while the visitors have won on 11 occasions. The most famous meeting between the sides came in September 2007, when Yuvraj Singh smashed Stuart Broad for six sixes in an over. India won the match by 18 runs, and since then, it has been a neck-and-neck contest. <o:p></o:p>
The most recent meeting between the sides was in the semifinal of the T20 World Cup where India emerged victorious. India won the match by 68 runs to book their place in the final of the T20 World Cup and win the tournament.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
We predict India to make a winning start to the five-match T20I series as Suryakumar and his side look to dominate. <o:p></o:p>

Sports, Cricket Web Stories: IND vs ENG, 1st T20I - England’s Playing XI for Eden Gardens Opener ft Jos Buttler, Harry Brook, Gus Atkinson ahead of the Champions Trophy. 

England head coach Brendon McCullum has all but confirmed skipper Jos Buttler&rsquo;s role in the field as they set their sights on the upcoming T20I series against India. The series starting on Wednesday (Jan 22) will see England kick off the white-ball tour before they play in the Champions Trophy 2025. According to McCullum, Buttler will feature solely as a batter and will not keep wickets. Instead, Phil Salt will act as the wicketkeeper, with Buttler given added incentive to go around the field and build team tactics while in conversation with the bowler.
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">McCullum lifts lid on Buttler&rsquo;s role</h2>
"It's really a really positive thing for us, because it gives Jos the opportunity to have the last say with the bowler, and to have that relationship built at that last second, rather than from 22 yards away. We've got great keeping options within the side as well,&rdquo; said McCullum at the pre-match press conference.
England will start their eight-match white-ball tour to India on Wednesday where they will play five T20Is followed by three ODIs. Buttler will have huge duties on his shoulders as England look to add another ICC title to their arsenal. Since 2019, England has won the ODI World Cup and the T20I World Cup and would want to add another feather to his impressive hat.

For England, playing against India will be a sizeable challenge as they take on the 2024 T20I champions. India will be led by Suryakumar Yadav for the T20I series, with Axar Patel acting as the deputy. India will also have Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma in the squad as they look to build up from their impressive form in the South Africa tour in November.

IND vs ENG, 1st T20I: Brendon McCullum lifts lid on Jos Buttler's role, 'to play as pure...'

Jason Roy and Jofra Archer played the lead roles as England thrashed India by eight wickets in the opening Twenty20 interntional on Friday.

Chasing a modest 125, Roy hit a confident 49 as England romped home in 15.3 overs to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series at the world's biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.

Roy and Jos Buttler put on 72 in a blazing opening stand.

Buttler fell lbw to leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal for 28 and Roy, who hit four fours and three sixes, fell one short of a half century when Washington Sundar trapped him lbw.

"I'll take 49 and a comfortable victory for the team any day," said Roy, who did not take part in the Test series in which England were hammered 3-1.

Dawid Malan finished on 24, including the six that won the game, and Jonny Bairstow, scored 26 off 17 balls.

The pair put on an unbroken stand of 41 to steer England to victory after Archer took 3-23 in a fiery opening attack on the Indian batters.

Captain Eoin Morgan won the toss, fielded first and India slipped to 48-4 with skipper Virat Kohli out for nought off leg-spinner Adil Rashid.

Kohli blamed a "below par batting performance" by his side.

"There was a lack of execution of some of the shots. We have to come back with much more intent and clarity of plan. The wicket did not allow you to play the kind of shots you wanted to," he added.

Archer claimed KL Rahul who hit an inside edge on to the stumps. Fellow quick Mark Wood rattled Shikhar Dhawan's stumps.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant reverse hit Archer for a six behind the stumps, but he fell to Ben Stokes for 21.

Shreyas Iyer scored his third T20 fifty and put on 54 for the fifth wicket with Hardik Pandya, who smashed 19, to boost the Indian total.

Roy, Archer star as England trounce India by eight wickets in first T20

India and England are set to start the five-match T20I series with the opener to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday.&nbsp;

India, after winning the Test series, would be shifting their focus to the shortest format of the game against the winner of ICC World Cup 2019 – England. The hosts would be looking to test some new faces and combinations in the build-up to the ICC T20 World Cup, scheduled to be held later this year.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The opening T20I between India and England promises to be a run-feast given it will be played on a fresh track in Ahmedabad.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Talking about the team combinations, England have a fully-fit squad to pick from. India, on the other hand, might chop and change a bit to test new players in the series. However, Kohli, ahead of the match, confirmed that KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma will open for India with Shikhar Dhawan.
