Watch England Vs. India Cricket 2nd T20 International Live Stream: Start Time, Preview, How To Watch Online


The visiting India cricket team served notice to their England counterparts that they could be facing a long summer, after India nailed down, per CricInfo, an impressive, eight-wicket win in the first T20 on Wednesday. The win left England in a must-win situation in the second T20 International of three, which will live stream from Cardiff, Wales, on Friday.

As England feared, India’s wristspin attacks proved too much, especially coming from 23-year-old left-armer Kuldeep Yadav, who twirled his way to a devastating five-wicket haul against Eoin Morgan’s men, while the pace assault of Umesh Yadav claimed another pair. The Men in Blue held their hosts to 159, a total Indian batsmen topped with 10 deliveries to spare.

The batsman in the number three spot led the way for India, as KL Rahul tallied his first T20 century since August of 2016, according to The Hindustan Times, with a crowd-pleasing — at least for the India fans in attendance at Old Trafford — 101 not out.

England fast bowler David Willey, who claimed one of just two wickets taken by England in the match, says his team has not lost confidence despite the defeat in the series opener, according to The Guardian, even with the struggles against spin.

“I think our averages and stats against spin are unbelievable, so it was just one of those days,” Willey said. “Someone took a few wickets. Our lads will go away and think about their particular approach to it and we’ll come back and have full confidence in all the guys. Yes, it cost us in that last game but we don’t dwell upon things like that.”

A win for India on Friday will give them their sixth straight series victory in the T20 format, as NDTV noted. For England, a loss drops them from fourth on the ICC world T20 rankings, all the way down to seventh.
