ENG vs IND: England's Bowling Will Be Hit Again There's No Doubt About That - Aakash Chopra

Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra feels that England has a rather weak bowling lineup and they will likely leak runs once again in the second T20I against India on Saturday.

In the first T20I, apart from Chris Jordan, the rest of the bowlers had a tough time dealing with the aggression shown by the young Indian squad. Heading into the second game, things won’t change much, as per Chopra.

“I see their bowling to be weak and I am still not saying that their bowling has much might. They have Reece Topley, Sam Curran bowls a little, David Willey is there who didn’t play the last match, Moeen Ali and Tymal Mills are there – bowlers are alright.”

“The bowling options they have – Jordan – this is the best I have seen him bowl. I have never seen him bowl better than this because he gets hit a lot. Here he took two wickets and was very economical. Their bowling will be hit again, there is no doubt about that,” Chopra said on his YouTube channel.

“I have great expectations from England in the batting” – Aakash Chopra

As for the batting lineup, it is quite the opposite. The English lineup is the strongest in world cricket when it fires and it is led by their newly-appointed captain, Jos Buttler.

“I have great expectations from England in the batting, that it will be explosive batting. If Jos’ bat fires, you will not win the match by 50 runs. If they get to bat first, they will score close to 200 runs and if we bat first, even if we score 200, they are capable of chasing.”

“You don’t lose three wickets quickly in the powerplay every time, which happened last time. It is going to be an interesting one once again, it will be a good contest,” he also mentioned.
