IND vs ENG, 2nd T20I: Match Prediction, Dream11 Team, Fantasy Tips and Pitch Report | India vs England 2025

India aims to maintain their dominance against England in the second T20I at Chennai. After a convincing victory in the first match, fuelled by Arshdeep Singh’s early breakthroughs and Abhishek Sharma’s explosive knock, India will look to extend their lead in the five-match series.

England, led by Jos Buttler, will strive for a strong comeback after a disappointing performance in the opener. Their bowlers, particularly Mark Wood and Gus Atkinson, have to improve their lines and lengths to contain the Indian batting lineup. The spin-friendly Chenna💯i pitch will add another layer of challenge for the Englishmen.

Meanwhile, the hosts have suffered a setback with Abhౠishek sustaining an ankle injury during the training session, casting doubt over his availabi🃏lity for the match.
