Preview:
India and England will lock horns for the 2nd T20I on 11th July, Sunday. In the first T20I, England posted a target of 177 on board with some good performances with the batswomen. They were successful in getting early breakthroughs and thus got a tad hold of the game, as they eventually won the game by the DLS method.
England will, however, look to carry this momentum further. India, on the other hand, will have to find ways to make a comeback in the series. The team might make some tweaks to avoid yet another series defeat to the hosts.
