England vs India 3rd T20I Playing 11: Will India make changes? IND vs ENG predicted XIs here

India and England meet in the third T20I of the five-match series at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, with the visitors desperate to register their first win under Shreyas Iyer. England lead the series 1-0 after chasing down 191 in Manchester and have retained their winning combination for Tuesday's clash.

While England have announced an unchanged XI, India are expected to weigh changes after their bowling combination failed to deliver in the second T20I.

What is the predicted India Playing 11 for the 3rd T20I?

India could make at least one change after Ravi Bishnoi's expensive outing in the previous match. However, Trent Bridge has traditionally offered more assistance to spin than pace, leaving the visitors with a decision to make.


India predicted XI:

• Abhishek Sharma
• Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
• Ishan Kishan (wk)
• Shreyas Iyer (c)
• Tilak Varma
• Shivam Dube
• Harshit Rana
• Axar Patel
• Washington Sundar / Prince Yadav
• Arshdeep Singh
• Varun Chakaravarthy

What is England's Playing 11 for the 3rd T20I?

England have named an unchanged side after taking the lead in the series.

England Playing XI:

• Philip Salt
• Jos Buttler (wk)
• Harry Brook (c)
• Jacob Bethell
• Tom Banton
• Sam Curran
• Will Jacks
• Liam Dawson
• Jofra Archer
• Adil Rashid
• Josh Tongue

Why could India change their Playing 11?

India's three-spinner strategy did not work as planned in Manchester, where Ravi Bishnoi conceded 60 runs in four overs, including a costly 29-run over that shifted the momentum towards England.

The team management now faces a choice between strengthening the batting with Washington Sundar or adding another seamer in Prince Yadav. However, Trent Bridge is the only venue in the series where spinners have enjoyed a better bowling average (21.35) than pacers (27.35), making the selection call less straightforward.

What can be expected from the Trent Bridge pitch?

Trent Bridge is known as a high-scoring venue that generally favours teams batting second.

According to the match preview, 11 of the last 15 T20 matches played at the ground since 2025 have been won by the chasing side. The average first-innings winning score during that period has been 191, suggesting another run-filled contest could be on the cards.
