India vs England, 3rd T20I: nerves in business end of the match will come up trumps


Hello guys today is the last T20 match between India Vs England.we all know that the series is at 1-1 equal position.We saw the 2nd T20 match was nerve holding till the last ball.so today we can predict that we will see once again a thrilling encounter between India VS England.
       As of now India won a four match Test series by 4-0.after that clinched the three ODI series by winning first two games.England on the other hand breathed life into the tour by winning the 3rd ODI and first T20.
      Captain Kholi will perhaps feel perfectly at home at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy stadium and can except the loudest cheer from the crowd.Indian pace department flourished in the second T20 with Ashish Nehra and Jasprit Bumrah doing a terrific job to defend a lowly 144 score.the overall bowling combination is one that the Indians will have to ponder over.Kholi gave preference to his spinners over medium pacers in the second T20,with veteran leg-spinner Amit Mishra getting some returns in the form of an economical spell and the crucial wicket of England skipper Eoin Morgan.Mishra thus is likey to get the call-up in Bengaluru as well as will Yuzvendra Chahal,another one of the RCB personnel in the Indian T20 side, whose knowledge of the conditions will come in handy for the team.
            For England ,who were left seething with anger at the end of the second T20 after a couple of umpiring howlers,the final T20 presents itself as an opportunity to win at least one trophy in what has been an outright disappointing tour for them so far,with their performances getting better in the limited-overs legs of the tour. 
Squads:
India: Virat Kohli (c), Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chalal, MS Dhoni (wk), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mandeep Singh, Amit Mishra, Ashish Nehra, Manish Pandey, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, Pervez Rasool, KL Rahul, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh.
England: Eoin Morgan (c), Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Jake Ball, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler (wk), Liam Dawson, Chris Jordan, Tymal Mills, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, David Willey.

India Vs England 2nd T20 #2017:A must win game for India

  
Virat Kohli’s captaincy stint in Twenty20 Internationals got off to a bad start as England defeated India by seven wickets in the first match in Kanpur. Will the home team bounce back or will Eoin Morgan’s side seal an unlikely series win in Nagpur?

A warm welcome to the second T20I between India and England from Nagpur. Settle down, folks.

Heading into the T20I match between India and England, the authorities are taking no chances when it comes to crowd management. The gates were opened for the fans as early as 3pm on Sunday for the 7pm start of the T20 match. The move resulted in better crowd management. As soon as the gates opened, nearly 25 per cent of the seats were filled up in quick time.

The authorities had a tough time during the last match featuring the hosts at this venue, which was the World T20 opener between against New Zealand last year — when the fans had to queue up for over four hours to get inside the ground

India were tied down by some disciplined bowling from England in Kanpur as their batsmen failed to go for the big shots. Heading into the Nagpur match, the team will have to pull their socks up in the batting. However, the Jamtha venue has not been kind to the hosts.

In two T20Is that they have played here, India have lost both. A loss on Sunday will result in a series loss. The last time they lost a T20I series at home was against South Africa in October 2015.

England, on the other hand, continue their wonderful record in India. They have won three out of four T20Is against India at home and Morgan’s team is on the cusp of a series win. The England skipper led from the front with a magnificent fifty and along with Joe Root, steered the team to safety. With the top order being in good form, the visitors will be aiming to end the tour on a high after the disappointment of the Test and ODI series.

Ashwin, Jadeja rested for England T20s; Mishra and Rasool come in

Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin two great indian spinners have been rested for the three-match T20 series against England which will start from Jan 26.In a statement released by BCCI,legspinner Amit Mishra and JK alrounder Parvez Rasool have been named in place of them.


Jadeja and Ashwin combined seven wickets in three ODIs with the offspinner going wicketless in two matches. Jadeja on the other hand, following a fruitful Test series, could manage only 29 with the bat. Considering the plethora of injuries sustained by the Indian players, the move is understandable on the part of the board as Ashwin and Jadeja have been playing constantly.


Mishra last played against New Zealand during fifth ODI where he took a five wicket to lead India to win series by 3-2. He was also named the Man of the Series for picking up 15 wickets at an average of 14.33. Rasool on the other hand, has played only one ODI for India - against Bangladesh in 2014 - where he finished with 2/60.
The three T20I's will be played in Kanpur, Nagpur and Bengaluru.

India Vs England:The Last Song before dusk


Hello guys today India won the three-match One-Day International series against England 2-0.But, as the teams go into the final ODI at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, the match will be more than dead rubber for a few players in both sides. 
          In the last ODI there are few youngsters looking to make an impression and out of form seniors hoping to prove a point. The first two matches were pulsating encounters with at least 350 scored in each innings.In first ODI in Pune ,both indian batsman Virat Kholi and Kedar Jadhav scored centuries .In the second ODI M.S. Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh scored centuries with india sets a record of 381 for 6 for England.
           This will be the last ODI before Champions Trophy.Eoin Morgan the captain of England Team will want to avoid going down 3-0 and instead build some momentum going into the three-match Twenty20 International series that follows.
          The teams will have to do it with some personnel changes,however England will be without Alex Hales,the opener,who was ruled out of the tour due to a fractured hand.hales,who scored 9 and 14 in last two ODI.sustained the injury while attempting a catch in the outfield last match.
         The trend of high scores could be affected by the relaid pitch at Eden Gardens, which is expected to provide good bounce and carry. A fair amount of live grass is expected to aid the seamers, and dew could have a significant impact in the second innings.
   Squads:
India: Virat Kohli (captain), Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan, Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav, Yuvraj Singh, Ajinkya Rahane, Hardik Pandya, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Amit Mishra, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav.

England: Eoin Morgan (capt), Moeen Ali, Jonathan Bairstow, Jake Ball, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler (wk), Liam Dawson, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, David Willey, Chris Woakes.
