India vs England: A Clash of Titans at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai! Get ready for another explosive encounter as India and England face off in the second T20I of the five-match series. After a resounding victory in the first match, India will be eager to maintain their momentum and extend their lead. England, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back and level the series. The hosts showcased their strength in the first match, with both bat and ball. Their aggressive batting approach and disciplined bowling proved too much for England. On the other hand, the visitors struggled to cope with the Indian bowling attack, especially against the spinners. Jos Buttler's lone hand wasn't enough to prevent a comprehensive defeat.
With the caravan now shifting to Chennai, India will be confident of making it 2-0 as there will be much more assistance for the spinners than it did in Kolkata and England will have to quickly adjust and find a way to score against the Indian spinners. Talking a bit more about the teams, England were hopeful of getting a big score on a pretty flat pitch at the Eden Gardens but apart from Jos Buttler no one really managed to get going and that formidable batting lineup was made to look pretty average by the Indian spinners and even their pacers couldn't do much in the chase but they way Jofra Archer bowled is surely a big positive for them. Moving on to India, they opted to play just one frontline pacer in the form of Arshdeep Singh and he bowled beautifully at the start, allowing the likes of Varun Chakravarthy to then come in and rule the middle overs.
With the bat, Sanju Samson got another fast start but it was Abhishek Sharma who hammered 79 runs off just 34 balls as India finished off the run chase with plenty of time to spare. It will be interesting to see as to when and if Mohammed Shami gets a game under his belt given that he is returning from a prolonged injury and is a part of India's initial Champions Trophy squad. India are the favorites to win the second match, given their current form and the expected conditions in Chennai. However, England are a formidable opponent and will be eager to prove their mettle.
India squad : Suryakumar Yadav (C), Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel (vc), Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Shami, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, Washington Sundar, Dhruv Jurel (wk).
