England finally won a match in India this winter last weekend but victory in the final ODI counted for nought with their hosts having already wrapped up the three-match series. Having been crushed 4-0 in the Test series before Christmas, it’s been a tough tour for England. So can we expect them to fare any better in the T20 series which gets under way this week?
Well, I wouldn’t be ready to give up on England just yet. Their bowling let them down in the ODIs but T20 is all about batting and scoring quickly and Eoin Morgan’s side have several specialists in that department, a few of whom have been playing in Australia’s Big Bash. In addition, a number of England regulars arrive in form. Captain Morgan has already scored a century since arriving in India and he also played well in Kolkata in the final ODI. Joe Root is still Mr Consistency while Jason Roy is a cracking opener in the shortest format of the game. With Alex Hales struggling with injury, he’s likely to be partnered by Sam Billing, another who looks in good nick.
Root has declared himself fit for the series and that makes England an attractive proposition to win the T20 series in India at 6/5 with Betfred.
