which team will win the series decider tonight?

In ongoing series between India and England the series decider will be played on Saturday at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. So far both the teams have one 2 2 matches and will try to win the 5th T20 tonight and also seize the series. Last t20 match which was played on Thrusday Ind won by 8 runs and it was the first time in the series any team won the match by defending runs, otherwise before the 4th T20I, the team which won the toss also won the match but this streak got broken in 4th match where England won the toss and elected to bowl. Ind scored 185 runs in 20 overs. In reply to 185 runs England could manage to score 177 runs in 20 overs and hence Ind won the do or die match by 8 runs.

KL Rahul's form will be a concern for team India who has dissapointed the most. So far he has scored 1,0,0,14 runs in all 4 match. Now it will be intresting to see whether team India play with KL Rahul or Ishan Kishan will open with Rohit Sharma. Ishan Kishan didnot play last game due to minor injury and is likely to play tonight. Yorker king T Natrajan had cleared the fitness test and is ready to join the team. If Natrajan plays tonight then he will somehow solve the death overs problem because he has been seen doing bowling in death overs in IPL for Sunrisers Hydrabad and also in Aus tour.

If we talk about England so once again England may play with the same team as no one is injured and everyone has performed so far. Dew will also play its role as it was seen a lot of due was there in the 4th T20 and in last over of the Eng inning the ball was changed due to wet ball. So, once again both the captain will like to chase the total and will try to take the benefit of dew.

Image Source - BCCI

Virat Kohli scored 73 runs in 49 balls against England in second T20 at Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday and become the first batsman who scored 3000+ runs in T20. Before this match Virat was seen struggling for his form during Test Series against England and has been out on duck for 3 times in a months which is quite rare to see a batsman like Kohli, who is probably the best batsman in the world in all formats. Kohli is the only batsman in the world who is having 50+ avg in all formats of the game.

Virat has achieved this milestone in his 86th T20 matches and took 81 innings to do so with the avg of 50.86 which is rare to see in T20 cricket by any cricketer. Martin Guptil and Rohit Share are on 2nd and 3rd respectively in the race of highest run getting in t20. Martin Guptil has played 99 T20 matches so far and in 95 innings he scored 2839 runs with an avg of 32.26, whereas Rohit has played 108 matches and in 100 innings he has scored 2773 runs with the avg of 32.62.

Rohit has missed both the T20s against England and is likely to miss the 3rd also because Ishan Kishan has played an excellent inning on his debut as an opener and has scored 56 runs in just 32 balls with 5 fours and 4 sixes. He completed his maiden International half century in just 28 balls which will reduce the chances of Rohit to play in 3rd T20 which is on 16th March, 2021.
