After an impressive seven-wicket win in the first T20I, India they will aim to consolidate their dominance when they face each other England in the second match of the five-match series at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday, January 25.
The local team, led by Suryakumar Yadavthey will be eager to build on their impressive performance in the opening encounter. The Indian bowlers, led by a disciplined bowling attack, restricted England to a sub-par total, setting the stage for a convincing win.
England, despite the defeat, will be looking to bounce back. The inclusion of Brydon Carse instead of Gus Atkinson he is expected to bolster their bowling attack, especially on the Chennai pitch, which is known for providing assistance to bowlers who hit hard on deck.
A win for India would not only give them a crucial 2-0 lead but also give them a big boost to their confidence going into the upcoming tournaments. England, on the other hand, will be desperate not to fall behind and will need key players like Yes Butler to step up and deliver.
