Team India is coming back into action after their massive disappointment with the Border-Gavaskar trophy. They were last seen playing the shortest cricket format against the Proteas squad in South Africa. Team India won the series by 3-1. In recent times, team India has built a completely different squad in the T20 format and that has helped them to maintain their dominance in T20 cricket.

India vs England's first T20I fixture is expected to be an absolute thriller. The two teams have some of the best players in the team. India has a good depth in their batting unit and they are also getting their key pacer back in the team.
England is also coming up with a good lineup of batters but they have a minor void in their pace attack. We predict a win for team India in the 1st T20I.
