New Delhi: India will take on England in the first of the five T20Is on Friday (March 12) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
After a terrific win in the recently concluded Test series, the hosts will be looking to carry that momentum in the short format of the game as well.
On the other hand, the visitors would be eager to exact revenge of the humiliation they faced at the very same venue.
Considering the format of the game, it seems like a very even matchup with both sides having a decent chance of tipping the odds in their favour.
While India has the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya who are known for their expertise in the T20 format, England has Dawid Malan, Ben Stokes and company that can give a tough contest to their opponents.
The match will be played at 7 pm IST.
