India vs England: 5th T20I, March 20, England Tour of India Match Prediction
Contents
The 5th and final match of the 5-match England tour of India 2021 series involving India and England will be played on 20 March. It will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, the world’s largest cricket ground.
After losing the first match of the series, India fought back to win the second and tie the series at 1-1. The result of the second match has left the series wide open. It is expected to be a close and exciting contest going forward.
Eng vs Ind Match Prediction
An India vs. England match is one of the most exciting fixtures on the cricket calendar. And so far, this series has lived up to all expectations. England won the first match of the series by 8 wickets. India scored only 124 runs in the first match, with Shreyas Iyer scoring 67 of those. England, inspired by Man of the match Jofra Archer, coped easily with what India had to offer in that match.
India, playing much better, levelled the series by winning the 2nd T20I of the series. They elected to bowl first after winning the toss and won the match by 7 wickets. England, inspired by Jason Roy and Eoin Morgan, finished with a respectable 164 runs. India’s Ishan Kishan was the Man of the Match.
India is expected to continue with the momentum from winning the 2nd T20I and take the 3rd match. A win in the 3rd match will give them a chance to take the series in the 4th T20I. A win in the 4th match would take most of the pressure off for the 5th T20I. So it is probably preferable for a neutral observer for England to win the 4th and set up an all-important 5th match.
Pitch Conditions
The playing surface is a batting-friendly wicket. Batting is expected to be a bit more difficult in the first innings than in the second one.
