TOSS: IND V ENG 4th T20 | PRE-MATCH | CRICTALKS
TOSS: IND V ENG 4th T20 | PRE-MATCH | CRICTALKS

👉Play Fantasy cricket with VVS LAXMAN on My11Circle App: http://bit.ly/3vyDVfP For queries: anatomizedtube@gmail.com PREVIEW: India find themselves chasing England for the second time in the series and have a few issues to resolve if they are to draw level and go into the decider on Saturday. The much sought after top-order has not fired collectively in the three matches and India’s ace spinner has let them down in every match. If India do not get their act together on Thursday then it would mean a first bilateral series loss for them in eight series – something which will not look good on Virat Kohli’s impressive CV given that England are the main challengers to India for the prestigious World T20 title in the very same conditions in October. Another factor which could potentially decide the match even before a ball has been delivered is the toss. In all the three matches in the series thus far, the captain winning the toss has elected to chase and gone on to win the match – that too, rather emphatically. Batting second, knowing the target with a shorter boundary on one side and then strategising the chase is a clear advantage than setting a target in these conditions and in this series. Going by the pattern in the series it is Kohli’s toss to win. India: India need a solid start at the top of the order. 2, 0 and 7 – these have been the opening-wicket stands for India in the series. The form of KL Rahul is a big concern – he has registered three ducks in the last four matches. While Virat Kohli has produced two sublime fifties in the last two matches, the home team need others in the top order to fire. Rohit Sharma is due a big one and so is Rishabh Pant. India may just fall back on a more stable start rather than going helter-skelter which is part of their new all-out strategy. It would be interesting to see whether India brings back Suryakumar Yadav in which case it would be at the cost of Shreyas Iyer. Kohli and batting coach Vikram Rathour have already made it clear that Rahul is one of the team’s prime batsmen and will be backed to open the innings despite his poor run of late. If India do play Yadav it has to be at number 4. He is wasted down the order. This would mean that Pant goes down to number 6. The bowling unit may need a couple of changes. Yuzvendra Chahal is bleeding runs and is the most expensive bowler of the series. He is being tonked for a number of boundaries and that is a cause of major concern for Kohli – Chahal has been India’s go-to bowler in the middle overs controlling the flow of the match during that phase of play. Will India rest Chahar from the crucial fourth T20I and get in a more accurate and restrictive Axar Patel? It may not be such a bad ploy. Deepak Chahar is yet to get a look in in the series and may be brought in replacing Shardul Thakur who was taken for a few in the third match in Ahmedabad. England England have most of their bases covered. Three of their top 4 – the three J’s – Jos Buttler, Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow look in terrific destructive form. Even if two of them fire that is good enough to annihilate any opposition attack. Dawid Malan has got starts in all the three matches but still not been at his usual fluent best. He is due a big score in the series. Eoin Morgan and Ben Stokes have not had too much batting to do in the series but will need to step on the accelerator should the need arise in the remaining two matches. The England captain would know the significance of winning a T20 series in India in a year the World T20 is being hosted by the same country. The bowling looks more or less sorted. The return of express-paced Mark Wood had an immediate and big impact in the third game as the England speedster gave his team two huge breakthroughs in the powerplay – he dismissed both the openers – Rahul and Rohit Sharma with the new ball. Chris Jordan has been a little expensive in the last two matches but his death bowling pedigree would not have lost its value on Morgan. However, if the wicket assists spin, drafting in Moeen Ali for the fast bowling all-rounder might be a better option. Squads: India Team: Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Suryakumar Yadav, Axar Patel, Shikhar Dhawan, Deepak Chahar, Rahul Tewatia, Navdeep Saini, T Natarajan, Rahul Chahar England Team: Jason Roy, Jos Buttler(w), Dawid Malan, Jonny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan(c), Ben Stokes, Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Tom Curran, Moeen Ali, Sam Billings, Reece Topley, Liam Livingstone



TOSS: IND V ENG 3rd T20 | PRE-MATCH | CRICTALKS
TOSS: IND V ENG 3rd T20 | PRE-MATCH | CRICTALKS

👉Play Fantasy cricket with VVS LAXMAN on My11Circle App: https://bit.ly/3lgcCCt For queries: anatomizedtube@gmail.com PREVIEW: England captain Eoin Morgan likened the pitch that will be used in the third T20 International to Ayers Rock, because its colour resembled that of the sandstone monolith in the heart of Australia's Northern Territory's arid "Red centre". Two different pitches have been used in the two concluded games in the five-match series so far. The black soil one used in game one suited England as it had more pace in it. The second one, however, jolted them right out of their comfort zone and exposed their weakness. "A typical Indian wicket" is what Morgan said it was, but it's the kind of run-ins England are looking for ahead of the T20 World Cup, to be prepared for whatever is thrown their way. Much in contrast, India almost had the perfect game, ticking all the right boxes after their disappointing start to the series. Going too hard too soon, they reigned their instincts in, but continued with their experimentation, handing Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan maiden T20I caps. While the former didn't get to bat in the chase of 165, Kishan shined in his maiden knock and blazed away to a half-century. Ahmedabad saw a display of Kishan's magic as he stuck to his natural game and his instinct to attack from the onset. That knock held him in good stead with an eye on the World Cup, given the failure of Shikhar Dhawan in the first T20I, and the dual ones of KL Rahul, who has scores of 1 and 0 so far, with Rohit Sharma still being rested. Virat Kohli himself got among the runs after his "special chat" with AB de Villers, scoring a fifty, to once again star in a chase. Hardik Pandya getting in his quota of overs with the ball also helps India in terms of balance to play an extra batsman. Washington Sundar has shown enough versatility against the right-handers, scalping the dangerous Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow, that proved restrictive in England getting away, earning a special mention from his skipper too. On an evening where Shardul Thakur, Hardik and Bhuvneshwar Kumar regularly took pace off the ball, England batsmen struggled to get past them. Although they stitched timely stands, India struck at regular intervals to prevent the acceleration. Both teams are almost halfway through the series and whilst one eye will be on the larger picture of the global tournament, for now, they will want to look ahead to Tuesday (March 16) for a lead in the series. For India, it will be about trying out as many players as possible as probables for their potential squad, while for England, exposure to as many different conditions as possible will be of most value. When: India vs England, 3rd T20I, March 16, 7:00 PM local time Where: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad What to expect: Game three will see a red soil pitch being used, which could be of assistance to the spinners. Morgan reckons the pitch could worsen as the game goes on, hinting that unlike what we've seen so far in the series with the advantage lying with teams batting second, this one could be about batting first and posting a strong total, with little dew coming into play. Team News: India: Kohli had said that Rohit would be rested for a couple of games. Going by that, he may come into the XI at the expense of KL Rahul, who's had a disappointing two games. They may also bring back Axar for a pacer if the wicket assists spin. England: The only change for England could be Tom Curran out for either Moeen Ali or Mark Wood. If you've to go by what Eoin Morgan said about the wicket aiding spin, it should be Moeen, who can also take the ball away from the left-handers in Kishan and Pant. Although Wood's bruised heel is better, England may save him for game four. INDIA TEAM: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli (c), Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Ishant Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Rahul Tewatia, Ishan Kishan, Yuzvendra Chahal, Varun Chakravarthy, T Natarajan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar, Navdeep Saini, Shardul Thakur ENGLAND TEAM: Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, Jonny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Jason Roy, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Tom Curran, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley



TOSS: IND V ENG 1st T20 | PRE-MATCH | CRICTALKS
TOSS: IND V ENG 1st T20 | PRE-MATCH | CRICTALKS

👉Make your Fantasy cricket team on My11Circle App: https://bit.ly/3rC19PP For queries: anatomizedtube@gmail.com PREVIEW: The two best teams in the T20I format – England and India will clash in a marquee five-match series which commences at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium from Friday, the 12th of March. England with a rating of 275 is at pole position in the latest ICC Rankings while India is at the number two position with 268 points. While a series win for India will be a great confidence booster in the year of the World T20, which is scheduled to be hosted by India with Ahmedabad as one of the potential venues, it will not necessarily suffice in them overtaking England as the number one ranked team in the format. If India wins the series 3-2, England still hold on to their position with a difference of two ranking points. India needs a 4-1 or a 5-0 win to dethrone England. Given the record of the visitors in the last couple of years India’s task will be cut out. England have won 15 of their 21 matches since October, 2018 and more significantly remained unbeaten in 8 consecutive series during this period. India: While India would settle for nothing but a series win against the number 1 ranked team in the world, the five matches also give the home team a great opportunity to test their bench strength ahead of the World T20 later in the year. India would want to get their combination right and get their best XI sorted. The main dilemma for the hosts would be who to send to open the innings with Rohit Sharma. KL Rahul was in fine form in Australia and has an average of 47.18 and strike rate of 148.03 as an opener for India since 2018. The other contender, Shikhar Dhawan, while a brilliant ODI batsman, does not have the same returns in T20I cricket. He has averaged 33.11 and strike rate of 133.72 at the top of the order for India in this time-frame – good numbers but not as outstanding as Rahul’s. Suryakumar Yadav who played the role of the playmaker for Mumbai Indians quite effectively in IPL 2020 in the UAE, could find a spot for himself at number 4 ahead of Shreyas Iyer who has already been tried and tested. Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant will bat at 5 and 6. The number 7 batting position will be a toss up between Washington Sundar and Rahul Tewatia. But given India already has enough firepower in the lower middle-order, the more restrictive of the two bowlers, Sundar might get the nod ahead of the maverick all-rounder. Sundar was RCB’s unsung hero in IPL 2020 and one of the most economical bowlers of the tournament. Although not a big wicket-taker he has been very restrictive in his 26 matches for India with an economy rate of 6.95. The experienced Bhuvneshwar Kumar will share the new ball with Deepak Chahar in all likelihood. Chahar is a specialist in the powerplay and has a knack of picking wickets and containing the opposition batsmen in the first six overs. England Jos Buttler and Jason Roy form a devastating opening pair for England. Their most dangerous batsman, however, would be the number 3 Dawid Malan. Malan has had a phenomenal start to his T20I career and has an aggregate of 855 runs in 19 matches at an average of 53.43 and strike rate of 149.47. His exploits already include a hundred and 9 fifties. Malan has the ability to score big and at a very high rate. Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes and Eoin Morgan form a formidable and destructive middle order capable of annihilating any attack in the world. Bairstow and Morgan have a strike rate of close to 140 in T20I cricket while Stokes is widely regarded as the best all-rounder in the world across formats. The Curran Brothers – Sam and Tom will occupy the positions of the bowling all-rounders at 7 and 8 while Adil Rashid will be the specialist spinner in the XI. The leg break bowler has picked 201 wickets in 179 T20 matches at a strike rate of 18.2 and economy rate of 7.43. T20I specialist Chris Jordan who is a wicket-taking bowler in the format will share the new ball with Jofra Archer. Jordan has picked 66 wickets in 54 T20I appearances for England at a strike rate of 17.4. Archer was one of the bowlers of IPL 2020 and returned as the highest wicket-taker for the Royals with 20 wickets in 14 matches at a strike rate of 16.7 and economy rate of 6.55. INDIA SQUAD: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli (c), Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Ishant Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Rahul Tewatia, Ishan Kishan, Yuzvendra Chahal, Varun Chakravarthy, T Natarajan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar, Navdeep Saini, Shardul Thakur ENGLAND SQUAD: Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, Jonny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Jason Roy, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Tom Curran, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley
