IND vs ENG 3rd T20I - Mar 16th, 2021
After winning the 2nd T20I by 7 wickets, India would hope to repeat their display in the third T20I that takes place tonight at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Rohit Sharma is likely to come back in the side so KL Rahul or Ishan Kishan might have to make a place for him.
England may bring in Moeen Ali.

India vs England 4th T20I:
It’s Match Day!
Team India will look to bounce back and level the series as they take on England in the 4th T20I.
The 4th T20I between India and England is a do-or-die encounter for the hosts. Team India, after responding to the loss in the first game with a win in the second, slumped to a disappointing eight-wicket defeat in the third. Apart from Virat Kohli, no other batsman got going on Tuesday and the bowlers were later taken to cleaners by England’s wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler.
Now, to stay alive in the series, they must regroup on today (March 18) at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad to beat the world’s number 1 side in the shortest format of the game.
