Welcome to preview of IND vs ENG 3rd T20 2025. 3rd T20 might be indifferent from 1st and 2nd T20. India has already won 2 matches with a lead of 2-0. Hence to have a competition in the rest of three matches England has to win the 3rd T20. If England loses the 3rd T20, the series is completely towards India. The rest of the 4th and 5th match will not show interest to the cricket lovers. They are totally dead driver matches without having any impact. In order to win a series against India, England has to win the 3rd T20 match. The report says England might make a strong comeback and shows their impact on the 3rd T20.
Coming to the ground reports. The match will be playing in Rajkot, which is a genuine batting paradise. 5 total international matches have been played yet, in which the team who took batting first have won 3 matches and 2 matches of the team who took bowling first. The average first innings score is 190. There’s nothing to surprise whatever a team opts for batting or bowling. If a first bat team creates a huge target, then it might be a little difficult to chase down. But there is not much difference, it is almost equal in winning prediction whatever a team chooses either batting or bowling. The highest team total is 228 and highest successful in chase is 202. Pitch is a batting paradise. Seamers look more effective than spinners on this ground. Spinners are also effective later on, but more often the seam is more effective than spin. As per the reports pace attack is very effective on this pitch. Spinners might get ruled out in this match.
In the previous matches we have seen almost 5 spinners spelled. In this match India might down one spinner and replace with a seamer. Last match played in Chepak, which is more of a spin attack but Rajkot is unlike Chepak and favours a pace attack.
Mohammed Shami will be playing 3rd T20 against England!? What are the changes in Indian playing 11 ?
Rajkot is more towards pace attack rather than spin attack. India might bring down one spinner and replace it with a seamer. There will be no requirement for a spinner. Mohammed Shami is more likely to be selected for 3rd T20 against England. Ravi Bishnoi might get down and be replaced by Mohammed Shami. Since it is better option, this possible change from India can be expected. Hardeek Pandya , Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami pace attack will become luxurious for India.
There are high chances that Shivam Dubey might be included in the squad. Nitish Kumar Reddy recently injured who might be replaced by Shivam Dube.
Playing Shivam Dubey in the 3rd T20 is not sure. Mohammed Shami who was selected for the Champions trophy 2025 has to play for the coming matches. As per previous statements Mohammad Shami has to undergo tests and he should build up his effectiveness.
Whatever the changes in England’s playing 11?
There are no changes in playing 11 of England. The squad played for 2nd T20 will be playing 3rd T20 too. In fact England has given a tough fight in the second T20 against India. England might give tough competition in this match too. Comparatively, the three coming matches will be playing in Rajkot,Mumbai, and Pune which is more favourable for batting and has flat tracks. England enjoys batting in these types of pitches.
Coming to the consistency of England, Joss Buttler is the only player who was consistent in previous matches. No runs came from other batters. Not even bowlers spelled well and became very expensive against Indian batters.
All RCB fans will be focusing on Liam Livingstone and Phil Salt. They did not play bold and no runs have come up with their bat in the last two T20’s. Jacob Bethel is totally out in 2nd T20 and 3rd T20 too. There are higher chances that Phil Salt and Liam Livingstone might score well in the 3rd T20. Moreover, it’s an impactful innings one has to score better to have hopes by the fans.
Jofra Archer too became more expensive in the last match. He became the highest run giver of about 60 runs. Nobody expected that Jofra Archer would become much more expensive than any other player. So hopefully Jofra Archer might come back in the 3rd T20.
Since India has chosen bowling first in the last two matches. It will be better if India Chooses batting this time. It will be like a routine if India chooses bowling again. If India chooses batting, One can see India’s ability against a strong team like England. There are high chances that England might impact the 3rd T20 against India.
