The second match of the 5-match T-20 series between India and England will be played today. India is leading 1-0 in the series. The first match took place on 22 January in Kolkata, which Team India won by 7 wickets. Both the teams will clash for the first time at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Chennai’s pitch supports spin bowlers more, so India can be seen playing with three spinners once again. The chances of Mohammed Shami playing appear to be very less. The team will field a second pacer in the form of Hardik Pandya along with Arshdeep Singh. Nitish Reddy is also a pace option if needed. Abhishek Sharma got injured before the match. His chances of playing are less.
