New Delhi: The second match of the 5-match T20 series between India and England will be played today. India is leading the series 1-0. The first match was played in Kolkata on 22 January, which Team India won by 7 wickets. Both teams will clash for the first time at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
The Chennai pitch supports spin bowlers more, so India may be seen playing with three spinners once again. The chances of Mohammed Shami playing seem very low. The team will field another pacer in the form of Hardik Pandya along with Arshdeep Singh. Nitish Reddy is also a pace option if needed. Abhishek Sharma is injured before the match. He is less likely to play.
