Match Preview
India leads the five-match series 1-0, following a convincing 7-wicket win in the first T20I at Eden Gardens.

Chakravorty picked up 3 wickets in his 4-over spell, conceding runs at an impressive economy of 5.8.
England batted first in Kolkata but could only post 132 runs before being bowled out, thanks largely to a lone effort from skipper Jos Buttler, who scored a fighting half-century.

Sanju contributed 26 off 20 balls, while Abhishek remained the star of the chase, smashing a stunning 79 off just 34 deliveries to seal the victory.

Pitch Report
The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai offers a surface with consistent pace and bounce, allowing both batters and bowlers to make their mark. Fast bowlers enjoy some assistance early on with movement and bounce, while spinners come into play as the game progresses, especially under dry conditions. With an average first innings score of 174 runs, the pitch provides a fair balance, but batters need to be cautious in the initial overs. Captains winning the toss often prefer to bowl first, taking advantage of early movement before the track settles for batting in the second innings.
