Third T20 match between India & England to be played in Ahmedabad today

Ahmedabad: India will look forward to continue its winning spree as they face England in the third T20 match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad today. Powered by a fearless half-century, on debut by Ishan Kishan, India made a roaring comeback in the second T20 on Sunday and defeated England by seven wickets to level the series. 

However, India need to iron out some issues at the top of the order as KL Rahul failed to fire in both games so far. Rahul who scored one run in two matches, may get replaced by vice-captain Rohit Sharma at the top of the batting order.  

 

England, meanwhile, batted well chasing a small total in the first game, but could not set a large target for India in the second game. Mark Wood is likely to make a return in the team and will most probably replace the misfiring Tom Curran. Their



batting line-up is a stable one, but England will be hoping that someone apart from Jason Roy will put their hand up and play a big knock.

Meanwhile, Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) has decided to hold remaining T20 International Matches between India and England at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad behind closed doors. This decision was taken following rising number of Corona cases in Gujarat in recent days. The GCA will refund the money to the spectators, who have purchased the tickets for T20 International Matches scheduled on 16th, 18th and 20th this month.

 

GCA Vice President Dhanraj Nathwani said that GCA will form the policy for refund of money to the spectators. Those who have received complimentary tickets are requested not to visit the stadium.
