England host India in the third T20I at Trent Bridge on Tuesday, holding a 1-0 series lead after a four-wicket win at Old Trafford.
Match context
India posted 190-7 in Manchester but the bowlers were unable to defend the total as England chased it down with an over to spare. Jacob Bethell was England’s match-winner, striking 76 off 46 balls to steer the chase under pressure.
Abhishek Sharma has been India’s standout performer in the series, accumulating 102 runs at a strike rate of 212.50, but Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma have all struggled to contribute meaningfully. India will be keen to level the series here before it slips further away.
Venue and head-to-head
Trent Bridge has hosted 14 T20Is with teams batting first winning eight times. England posted 215-7 here in the last meeting in July 2022 and won by 17 runs.

Betting angle
England at 1.85 is fair value as the home side with momentum from the previous match. Adil Rashid at 6.25 for top bowler is worth considering given Trent Bridge’s spin-friendly conditions and his record against India’s middle order. Harry Brook at 5.50 for top batsman reflects his middle-order threat.
India most sixes at 1.80 is worth monitoring given their explosive top order when clicking – Sharma in particular has shown his capability in this series.

The takeaway
England have the momentum and home advantage. India have the firepower to level the series if their top order fires collectively, but until Sooryavanshi and Kishan find their touch, England remain the pick at Trent Bridge.
