ENG vs IND 2nd T20I, Cricket Tips: The first T20I between England and India was called off due to rain. India scored 189/7 in the first innings, and there was no further play. The second T20I is scheduled to begin at 7 PM IST on Saturday at Old Trafford in Manchester. These two sides will look to produce a thrilling encounter.

Abhishek Sharma and Shivam Dube did well again, and captain Shreyas Iyer scored a much-needed fifty. But Samson, Tilak, Ishan, and Axar looked bad again. Vaibhav Suryavanshi is still on the sidelines. Will he play the next match? England would be happy with their bowling performance in the first game. But they will like to take wickets in the middle.

ENG vs IND: Ground Pitch Report

Old Trafford is considered a good batting wicket in T20Is. Even in the Women's T20 World Cup 2026, this venue produced good scores. However, we might see overcast conditions or light rain, which will produce more assistance for the fast bowlers. In that case, bowling first can be a better option.

ENG vs IND: Possible XIs

England: Phil Salt, Jos Buttler (wk), Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook (c), Tom Banton, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Jofra Archer, Saqib Mahmood, Adil Rashid, Luke Wood

India: Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Ishan Kishan (wk), Shreyas Iyer (c), Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Harshit Rana, Prince Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy

ENG vs IND: Player to Watch Out For

Probable Best Batter

Abhishek Sharma carried his form and struck a 20-ball fifty in the first game. He is a dangerous batter in the power play. Phil Salt is the most destructive English batter, and he has a good record against India.

Probable Best Bowler

Arshdeep Singh will like bowling in these conditions, and he can be dangerous with the new ball. Adil Rashid did well in closing overs in the first game. But his usage will be important in the second game.

Today Match Prediction: India had an improved batting performance, but they still struggled as a unit. Hence, we predict England to win the second T20I in Manchester.
