England has decided to maintain their unchanged playing eleven for the pivotal third T20I against India at Trent Bridge. The hosts, holding a 1-0 lead in the series, are looking to capitalize on their momentum from the previous victory at Old Trafford Cricket Ground. The team management has opted for continuity, aiming to further solidify their advantage in the ongoing series.
In the last encounter in Manchester, India, led by Shreyas Iyer, introduced Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to international cricket. Sooryavanshi, making his debut, scored 14 runs off 10 balls before being stumped off Will Jacks. Despite his efforts, it was Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma’s contributions that propelled India to a total of 190/7. England, led by Harry Brook, successfully chased down the target with young Jacob Bethell playing a crucial unbeaten innings of 76 runs.
Bethell’s innings, supported by Ravi Bishnoi’s no-balls and Sam Curran’s bowling performance, led England to victory. Following the upcoming match in Nottingham, the two teams are scheduled to play the remaining T20Is in Bristol and Southampton on July 9 and 11, respectively.
