15 Feb 2024 - 09:30 IST Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium - Rajkot, India IND vs ENG

Match Prediction:

With the Test series tied at 1-1 with three games remaining, India and England will face off again in the third Test at Rajkot. India won the first game of the series by 28 runs before triumphing by 106 runs in the final match. Continue reading as we preview this test. On Thursday, February 15th, the game will begin at 09:30 local time at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium.

India exhibited quality with the bat when it counted in the second Test of the series, and while they will not be at full strength for this game, we anticipate their expertise in home conditions to prove critical. India will once again expect to win this Test.

England left themselves with too much of a mountain to climb in the second half of the Test in Vizag, behind by 143 runs after the first innings. They will undoubtedly be competitive again in this game and take the assault to India, but they must score more runs in the opening innings.

Winning Chances:

INDIA

66.8%

DRAW

12.5%

ENGLAND

20.8%

Toss Prediction:

The greatest time to bat in Rajkot is always during the first two and a half days, thus we anticipate that both teams would want to bat first if they win the toss ahead of this Test.

Weather Report:

According to the projection, the temperature would rise throughout the course of the five-day match, reaching more than 30 degrees on each day. There is no rain anticipated for the next five days.

Pitch Report:

There is some green covering on the surface, but we don’t anticipate it to linger much longer than the first session. The pitch will then dry out, with a first-inning par score of at least 450.

Head to Head:

The victory in Vizag was India’s 32nd in Tests against England. The result also means that India has won two of the past five head-to-head matches in this format.

India Preview:

With KL Rahul remaining out due to injury and Virat Kohli ruled out of the series, Devdutt Padikkal, who has only played T20Is for his country, has been called up to the team. Shreyas Iyer has been left out of the team, but Ravindra Jadeja is likely to return from his hamstring injury that kept him out of the second Test.

India Squad Preview:

Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar, KS Bharat (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav

England Preview:

Shoaib Bashir made his Test debut in Vizag, taking four wickets in the process, but he is anticipated to be replaced by fast bowler Mark Wood in Rajkot. Rehan Ahmed is another candidate for dropping out, but his stronger hitting will almost certainly keep him in the lineup.

England Squad Predicted:

Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Ben Stokes (c), Jonny Bairstow, Ben Foakes (wk), Rehan Ahmed, Mark Wood, Tom Hartley, James Anderson

India vs England Prediction:

So far in this series, we’ve seen two extremely interesting Tests, and while the score is 1-1, it’s fair to say that India has dominated for longer stretches of time and won more sessions. However, with Virat Kohli and KL Rahul still absent, England will believe they have a chance. We forecast another entertaining game, but we believe India will win to go up 2-1.
