The second T20I of the ongoing five-match series between India and England will take place on Saturday (January 25). The game will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
India are currently leading the series 1-0 after registering an emphatic 7-wicket victory in the first game at the Eden Gardens earlier this week. England proved absolutely no match for India as the reigning world champions outplayed the visitors in all the departments.
Riding on Varun Chakravarthy's 3-wicket haul, India bowled out England for just 132 runs. With the bat, the Men in Blue crossed the finishing line inside 13 overs thanks to Abhishek Sharma's whirlwind knock of 79 runs from just 34 balls.
With both the teams now gearing up for the second game, here are all the predictions for the 2nd IND vs ENG T20I.
IND vs ENG Match Prediction- 2nd T20I, England tour of India 2025:
Pitch Conditions:
While black soil usually forms the surface at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, when India hosted Bangladesh for a Test last year, the game was played on a red-soil surface. On that surface, the pacers got more help early on.
However, if the upcoming T20I is played on the usual black soil, spinners will have a bigger say. The conditions in Chennai usually favour the spin bowlers more.
Form and Fitness
Neither of the two teams have any injury concerns ahead of the first T20I at the Eden Gardens.
