India and England are set to face each other in the third T20I of their ongoing five-match series, scheduled to be played on Tuesday at Niranjan Shah Stadium, Rajkot. With pumped up India leading the series 2-0, the second T20I has become a must-win contest for England, who are hoping to level the series after being demolished in the first two games.

Team India so far has been dominant, demonstrating their extraordinary skills in the first two games. Their strong batting and disciplined bowling have given them a solid 2-0 lead. In the opening match, India clinched a seven-wicket victory in a dominant fashion, with spinners and batters comping out with brilliant performances. In the second T20I as well, India successfully outmuscled England, securing a two-wicket win. Heading into the third match, India will aim to complete the series win. 

For England, on the other hand, the third T20I is a must-win battle. Having lost the first two games, they now face the pressure of trying to stay alive in the series. They would expect their batters and bowlers to step up and prevent India from clinching the series with three wins.
