Now, both the sides are exposed to their team’s strengths and weaknesses, so the team that will tackle these two consistently in this match will surely get a win in this upcoming game on Tuesday. As far as the skilled players of each side are considered, the team India (IND) list of key players consists of Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Rishabh Pant. In the meantime, the high-ranking performers of the team England (ENG) include Jason Roy, Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan, and Dawid Malan. Despite of having a great batting lineup, team England showed certain weaknesses in their bowling department in their second match. Team India that has strong batting as well as bowling lineup can take huge advantage of those few loopholes of team England and can get success in this 3rd T20I game.
