India will face England in the 3rd T20I of the England tour of India, 2025 on 28 January 2025 at Niranjan Shah Stadium, Rajkot. This article will cover match details, pitch report, playing XI, player stats, Dream11 predictions and fantasy cricket tips for the IND vs ENG match.
Match Preview
India, riding high on their performances in the first two T20Is, will aim to seal the series with a win in the third match of the five-match T20I series. Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma have been standout performers so far. Sharma’s impactful innings in the first match helped India chase the target comfortably, while Varma’s steady knock in the second T20I ensured a strong finish. A victory in this game would give India an unassailable lead and allow them to experiment in the remaining matches.
England, on the other hand, face a must-win situation. Having lost the first two games, their batting, especially in the middle order, has been underwhelming. Jos Buttler has been the lone warrior with the bat, providing some respectability to their innings in both matches. While the bowling unit showed glimpses of form in the second T20I, England need an all-round effort to stay alive in the series and avoid conceding a 3-0 lead.

Pitch Report
Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot is a haven for batters, with a flat pitch offering excellent bounce and carry, making it ideal for stroke-makers. The surface allows for free-flowing scoring, leading to an average first innings score of 189 runs. Spinners could play a key role as the game progresses, especially if the pitch starts to dry out. However, with dew likely to come into play later in the game, teams winning the toss often prefer to bowl first, taking advantage of the dry conditions early and easing the chase under lights.
