IND vs ENG 3rd T20I LIVE Cricket Score: India look to bounce back in bid for first win in UK
India are in choppy waters in T20Is. The two-time reigning T20 World Champions are yet to win a single match in the format after bagging the 2026 title. They have gone winless in four straight matches since then, their first such run in the last five years. They failed to adapt to the conditions in Ireland, but have been far from their best in much better batting conditions in England. They mustered 190/7 in the second T20I in Manchester only after a late cameo from Tilak Varma. Their batting has been under scrutiny for not putting up the giant totals that they are known for in bilaterals and also in the IPL. The bowling did not do well in the previous match either, as the visitors failed to defend 190.
