Match Preview
After an almost two-week break, cricket restarts with India and England locking horns in Rajkot for the third Test in the five-match series. After losing the opening game in Hyderabad by 28 runs, Team India rallied back to register a dominant 106-run victory on the back of performances by Jasrprit Bumrah and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Now both teams hope to get another win to consolidate their superiority in the series.
Toss Prediction:
England has a better chance to win the toss as they have won more tosses so far in recent Test matches in comparison to India.
Win Possibility:
The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team still seem as favourites to win this game and take a 2-1 lead in the series. The second Test showcased India’s dominance in home conditions but also threw light on certain issues with the batting. These problems could flare up with KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer and Virat Kohli being ruled out. Hence this slightly inexperienced Indian teams would need a complete performance to seal the victory in Rajkot.
Predicted and Average first innings total:
The Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot has always had incredible batting-friendly wickets. The two Tests played produced a lot of runs and hence the average 1st innings score is 593. The expected first innings score could range between 350-400.
