England will take on India in the third T20I of the five-match series at Trent Bridge, Nottingham on Tuesday, July 7. England lead the series 1-0 after winning the second T20I and will look to consolidate their lead. Meanwhile, India need a win to level the series and keep the competition alive.
England will enter the match with full confidence after chasing the target of 191 runs in Manchester. Jacob Bethel scored an unbeaten 76 off 46 balls, while Harry Brook and Tom Banton made valuable contributions to complete the chase with an over to spare.
India will be disappointed as the winning chances slip away in the second T20I. Despite scoring 190/7, the visitors failed to defend the target as their bowlers struggled in the death overs. Ravi Bishnoi’s expensive 17th over proved to be a big turning point in the match.
