Meanwhile, Michael Vaughan has predicted the result of the series on his X handle. He has backed England to win the series 3-2. "England will win 3-2," Vaughan wrote in his tweet.
As said above, the series begins with the first T20I in Kolkata on Wednesday. Chennai hosts the second T20I on Saturday, January 25. Rajkot hosts the third on January 28. The series moves to the west then with Pune hosting the fourth T20I on January 31 followed by the fifth T20I in Mumbai on February 2.
The Eden track over the years has been very conducive to T20I cricket. Punjab Kings chased down a score of 261 in IPL 2024. The pitch stays true and the bounce is also even. Previously there was help for the spinners but in recent years this has been a batting-friendly wicket. Dew is also expected to play a huge part in making it tough for the bowlers.
The venues for the five-match series are batting-friendly ones and hence this is expected to be a high-scoring series. Both teams have seasoned T20I players in their respective squads. After the T20I series, both teams play a three-match ODI series ahead of the Champions Trophy starting next month.
