India, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back and level the series.

England

England must be moving with a plethora of confidence after their dominant victory over the Indian team in the second T20I match. They defeated the visitors by 4 wickets and took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series after the washout game in the series opener. Jacob Bethell was the hero with the bat, and Sam Curran took charge with the bowling. While chasing a target of 191 runs, England comfortably achieved the target in just 19 overs, thanks to the brilliant unbeaten match-winning knock of 76 off 46 deliveries. Sam Curran took three wickets in his bowling spell. Both Harry Brook and Tom Banton scored 39 runs each with their bat.

India

With the bat, India has been doing a decent job, but their bowling is where they are losing the game. Despite scoring 190 runs on their scoreboard, they couldn't defend it. India handed Vaibhav Sooryanshi his debut while putting Sanju Samson on the bench. However, the 15-year-old grabbed the limelight with his two sixes but failed to score big runs to his name. Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan scored 43 and 49 runs respectively. Arshdeep Singh was their key bowler, taking three wickets with his bowling. A win in this match will help the team to level it.

Who will win today's ENG vs IND 3rd T20I match?

The way England won the second game, they will be confidently moving to the third match for the win. The hosts seem in the best form currently, especially how they have been delivering at their home. On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer and the team have been lacking rhythm after their Ireland whitewash. While the team combination still lacks depth, the momentum is missing after their World Cup victory. We are backing England to win this match.
