India aims to maintain their dominance against England in the second T20I at Chennai. After a convincing victory in the first match, fuelled by Arshdeep Singh’s early breakthroughs and Abhishek Sharma’s explosive knock, India will look to extend their lead in the five-match series.
England, led by Jos Buttler, will strive for a strong comeback after a disappointing performance in the opener. Their bowlers, particularly Mark Wood and Gus Atkinson, have to improve their lines and lengths to contain the Indian batting lineup. The spin-friendly Chennai pitch will add another layer of challenge for the Englishmen.
Meanwhile, the hosts have suffered a setback with Abhishek sustaining an ankle injury during the training session, casting doubt over his availability for the match.
The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, traditionally known for its spin-friendly pitches, has shown a more balanced approach in recent matches. While spin is still expected to play a role, the pitch is likely to offer a good balance between bat and ball. The team winning the toss may prefer to bat first to set a competitive target.
