England's three-month long Indian tour will come to an end in Bengaluru, as the hosts will play the third and final T20 encounter at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on February 01, 2017. Both the teams have won one match each, and the side who triumphs in this game will grab the series.
Final scores
India won by 75 runs
England 127 (16.3) (YS Chahal 25/6)
India 202/6 (20/20 overs) (Suresh Raina 63, MS Dhoni 56)
England won the toss and elected to bowl first.
England had a golden chance to win the series as they reached a comfortable zone in Nagpur while chasing a small total.
But the classic Indian death bowling spoiled their dreams, and the series was leveled.
Exclusive Team News: India
Earlier, close sources to the team stated that Rishabh Pant would make his debut in this crucial game. But the Delhi opener practiced only at the fag of India's net practicing session, and this makes his inclusion in the lineup unlikely.
Manish Pandey who has been struggling to find the form for the past couple of matches will most probably sit out in this game, and in all probabilities, he will be replaced by Parvez Rasool. As Parvez Rasool joins the Indian lineup, the spin department will turn more powerful with Amit Mishra and Yuzvendra Chahal already in the lineup.
