India and England will lock horns in a five-match T20I series starting March 12. All the five T20Is will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. India vs England is always a contest to savor, especially in the shorter versions of the game. With some of the world's best players featuring on both sides, one can expect fireworks along with stiff competition for the entire course of the five T20Is in Ahmedabad.
Both the teams are ranked in the top-3 of the ICC Men's T20I rankings and the visiting England side has lately been a force to reckon with in the T20 format. Despite securing a 3-0 whitewash victory over South Africa, the tourists will be wary of the Indian challenge in their home conditions. Even the hosts would be confident after their last two away wins against New Zealand and Australia.
The India vs England T20I series could see both the teams experimenting with their team combination in an attempt to figure out their best playing XI in the Indian conditions. With an eye on the T20 World Cup later this year, India will aim to zero-out on the balance of their playing XI while England will look to test a few of their players in what might be the best possible practice for the marquee event.
