This was the first match in the series where the team batting first won. Its good to see a series go down to the final match as most series are wrapped up early on. Its hard to say which team can win the series as both teams have played well but I would have to go with the home team to get it done. Kohli failed to score runs in this match however I think he has had a good series scoring two half centuries.
Lord Shardul made a game with 2 back to back wickets but lord Shardul also gave a good scare in the last over lol.
Series is 2-2 now
Lord Shardul? Lol. I was surprised to see him remove 2 big power hitters back to back, but I wasn't surprised to see him bowl badly against Archer in the final over. He is a wicket-taker, but he is also a run leaker. Excited for the final.Series is 2-2 now
Hardik Pandya once again surprised everyone with his tight bowling and he picked up two important wickets (Jason Roy and Sam Curran).
Pandya bowled well, but the best bowler was Bhuvi all the way just like in recent matches. After Bumrah, I regard him as the best death bowler in Indian cricket currently. 
Turned out to be a very close match, but India somehow managed to pull it back in the end. England must be regretting about the unnecessary runs they gave away during the final overs of Indian innings. Hardik Pandya once again surprised everyone with his tight bowling and he picked up two important wickets (Jason Roy and Sam Curran). It is nothing short of amazing, to concede just 4 runs per over in a match where the required run rate was close to 10.
Any opinion about the blunder of the third umpire on Suryakumar Yadav dismissal, the ball clearly was not caught cleanly and yet the third umpire gave him out as the video evidence was not conclusive because the on field umpire gave soft dismissal. They need to change the law to mandate soft signal from the field umpire as there is no way they could see that catch in the boundary.
Cut some slack to third umpire, do you know how tough is to take shitty decision and stand against the rules of logic.

1st T-20 - Eng won the toss and won convincingly.
2nd T-20 - Ind won the toss and again one-sided game
3rd T-20- - Eng won the toss and duh...
This Eng vs Ind T-20 series setting a weird template. Strategy from the both captains is, let's win the toss and ball first, easy peasy . 3 games and we are yet to watch any real contest, let's hope this pattern ends here.
The pattern continues, Virat Kohli will be praying to win the toss so that he will be able to chase and level the series. The toss is a major part and the pitch might be easier to chase at night. During the IPL it will be interesting to see whether the pattern continues and most probably if matches are played here i will pick the team chasing 2nd T-20 - Ind won the toss and again one-sided game
3rd T-20- - Eng won the toss and duh...

. 3 games and we are yet to watch any real contest, let's hope this pattern ends here..Yeah, last three matches the team that won the toss won the match. There are still two more matches left in this tournament and I hope this situation changes with the two upcoming matches. Except for Virat Kohli every Indian team player and fans will be praying for him to win the toss.
The match is on the line as England needs 46 runs from the last 4 overs and they still have Ben Stokes and Morgan in the crease and if India could pick a wicket now they will have the advantage and put more pressure on England.

The loss of three wickets at the critical situation have paved path for the win of India. As of now England requires 46 runs from 22 balls and four wickets in hand. This is a pressure situation for England, maybe few sixes right now will ease the match. If there happens one or two more wickets it'll ease the winning for India. Anyhow this time it looks like a new history in the ground.
I wouldn't count England out so easily since this is a T-20 after all and they still have several power hitters remaining.
Jonny Bairstow just got out, with Rahul Chahar on his second match getting the wicket. Now Eoin Morgan has come to the crease, to give company to Ben Stokes. England needs 50 plus runs in five overs, with 6 wickets remaining. It is never going to be easy, even with all the firepower England has down the order. Also, you need to remember that Bhuvneshwar Kumar has two overs remaining and he can be very difficult to get away during the depth overs.
Looks like India will win this match, despite the fact that they batted first after losing the toss. England has lost crucial wickets at regular intervals. Their batsmen literally threw away their wickets to useless shots. And at the same time, the required run rate has shot past 11.00. Now it will take a miracle to rescue England, and as long as the Indian bowlers are doing their job tightly, I don't see any such miracle around the corner.
Need 86 from 42 balls but they have 7 wickets in hand which included some of the big hitters so taking quick wickets may stop Eng from winning this match. Bhuvi and takur are going to bowl the death overs who is weak compared to Bumrah so Eng will take the match deep and will take away the match with some big hits in the last 4 overs.Moreover there is lot of dew so Ind is losing this match as well in my opinion.
Surprised to see so many people attacking Rahul just because of a couple of bad knocks. If a couple of bad knocks were the parameter to judge a batsman, players like Pant would have been sidelined long back.
However, that didn't happen which turned out to be a good decision. I feel sticking with Rahul will pay off in a similar manner in the long-term.

I do think a score above 180 will be competitive in this wicket.
It might be competitive and India just lost another wicket and that was the settled batsman Suryakumar Yadav and as long as Pant can swing the bat India could reach above 160 runs and they still have Hardik Pandya to come out and he is known to hit huge sixes, not sure about his recent form but if he is fit he can score quickly.Archer and Wood has two overs each and it is not easy to score easily against them.

KL Rahul not looking hungry for runs in this series. Look at 2 new guys Kishan and SKY, they got limited opportunity with debut game and they are playing without any pressure.
For the next game Rahul should sit out and make space for Ishan.
KL Rahul is hungry but he is having gas trouble to carry on with his innings For the next game Rahul should sit out and make space for Ishan.
.I am surprised that they excluded Ishan Kishan and kept the troubling KL Rahul in a crucial match, may be lack of match practice or confidence is the issue with Rahul and glad to see Suryakumar Yadav getting his chance and showing his skills in the international stage.
I do think a score above 180 will be competitive in this wicket.
The match is going as expected, India posting a sub par score and England chasing them, in this match they have a deep batting line up and they lost their captain and with they run rate they will reach around 170 runs and if they are able to score above 200 then it will be a tough battle and a loss for India in the match means England will win the series.
This is not new because Shastri and virat combo always make decision like these but Surya Kumar Yadav got a chance hope he will utilize it. Rohit sharma went to pavilion too soon now KL Rahul and Yadav is on the middle, you know already Yadav started to play destructively from the first ball itself at the rate of 250sr. 
I don't have anything against Suryakumar Yadav, but I am not happy with the omission of Ishan Kishan. Ideally KL Rahul should have been dropped. Look at his performance so far. He has made 7 runs from 11 balls. For heaven's sake someone tell him that he's playing in a T20 game and not a test match. Rahul is having issues against the bowling of Wood/Archer. I have already posted about this. IMO, the selection powers need to be taken away from Kohli/Damaadji combo.

And Kohli is gone.

England Won the toss again, lol anyone betting on England?
I believe that this time India is going to win. Very surprising to see the second change that India made. Rahul Chahar has been included in the place of Yuzvendra Chahal. I was expecting the inclusion of Suryakumar Yadav, but the decision to drop Kishan surprised me. Ishan Kishan has been kicked out of the playing XI in order to accommodate Suryakumar Yadav. This is extremely unfair from the part of the selectors. Kishan performed really well in the second match and just one failure and he is out. So what is the justification for sticking with KL Rahul despite three consecutive failures?
