New Delhi. After trailing 0-1 in the five-match T20 series against England, India will play its third match at Trent Bridge today (Tuesday). Team India will have its eyes on victory today, because if it loses, it will be impossible to win the series. The visiting team has had a very bad start under the leadership of newly appointed captain Shreyas Iyer. After losing the series against Ireland 0-2, they had to face defeat by 4 wickets in Manchester, while the first match was washed out due to rain. Once again all eyes are going to be on young talented batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who will try to leave a big impact after his historic international debut. In his debut match in Manchester, Vaibhav definitely showed aggressive style, but was out after scoring 14 runs. The second T20 started at 7 pm Indian time, but the timing of today’s match has been changed. Let us know about the timing and live streaming of the match…
India’s playing-11 may change
Spinner Ravi Bishnoi’s performance was very poor in Manchester, who gave 60 runs in 4 overs without taking any wicket. During this, 29 runs were given away in a single over. In such a situation, Team India would like to improve its bowling line-up, for which an additional fast bowler can be included in the playing eleven. For this match, young Prince Yadav is considered a better option than Prasidh Krishna to replace Bishnoi, because Prasidh Krishna’s ‘back-of-the-length’ balls can easily be sent across the boundary by England’s hard-hitting batsmen.
Batsmen will have to play better
On the other hand, Indian batsmen are also finding it difficult to adapt to the extra bounce and movement on the English pitches, as they are used to playing on flat pitches. Except opener Abhishek Sharma, the rest of the batsmen are not showing the same rhythm in their game. Although captain Iyer and Ishan Kishan have scored some runs, they have not been able to dominate the match. If the visiting team wants to survive in the series, it will be very important to correct these strategic mistakes and create balance in the bowling department.

The third T20 match between India and England will be played at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. Its toss will start at 9:30 pm Indian time, while the live action will start at 10:00 pm.

How will the Trent Bridge pitch be?
Trent Bridge is counted among the best batting T20 pitches in England. Here batsmen get help in scoring runs and big scores can be seen. However, the fast bowlers are expected to get swing and light movement in the first few overs with the new ball. After this the pitch may become easier for batting.
How will the weather be?
The weather is expected to be clear in Nottingham on 7th July (today). There is very little chance of rain, so the full 20-20 overs match is expected. Light wind may help the fast bowlers in the beginning, but as the match progresses, hot and dry weather may prove beneficial for the batsmen.
India’s probable playing-11: Shreyas Iyer (captain), Tilak Verma (vice-captain), Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Axar Patel, Shivam Dubey, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Prince Yadav and Varun Chakraborty.
England’s playing-11: Harry Brook (captain), Rehan Ahmed, Jofra Archer, Sonny Baker, Tom Banton (wk), Jacob Bethel, Jos Buttler (wk), James Coles, Jordan Cox, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson, Will Jacks, Saqib Mahmood, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Josh Tong and Luke Wood.
