England vs India (ENG vs IND) Match Preview
The first T20I was washed out due to rain. Powered by half-centuries from Abhishek Sharma and Shreyas Iyer, India posted a total of 189/7. Shivam Dube also contributed with a blistering knock. However, the form of Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan in the UK has been a cause for concern so far. Tilak Varma's performance, too, has fallen short of expectations since being appointed vice-captain.
Saqib Mahmood was the standout bowler for England, claiming three wickets. Meanwhile, Luke Wood proved expensive, and Jofra Archer could replace him in the second T20I. It will also be interesting to see whether England continues to field three spinners, including all-rounder Will Jacks.

The team winning the toss would prefer to bowl first.
