The third match of the five-match T20 series between India and England will be held at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot on January 28. India secured victories in the first two matches in Kolkata and Chennai by 7 and 2 wickets and will seal the T20I series with a win on Tuesday. India has a good record at Rajkot and the world number one T20I team would like to continue their winning streak.
On the contrary this match will be a must win for Jos Buttler and company as they cannot afford further slip ups. If England fails to win the third T20 they will not only lose the match but this will also end their dream of winning the T20 series in India.
