INDIA VS ENGLAND T20 FINAL

The bigger picture of India's full tour of England was always going to be about what transpires in the ODIs and Tests. ODIs, because it gives a glimpse of where two solid contenders for the 2019 World Cup final in less than 12 months from now, stand currently. And Tests, because of the several narratives that add to the five-match contest, none better than how Virat Kohli is going to fare against his 2014 nemesis - the away swinger.

But before the teams can head to those endeavours, the T20I series has laid down the marker for the level of competitiveness that will follow. In an interesting turn of events, and scheduling, T20Is have come at the very start, and has received Kohli's stamp of approval.

England's cluelessness against Kuldeep Yadav in Manchester gave India a cruising start to the tour, but the hosts bit back. The odd dimensions at the stadium in Cardiff wrong-footed India and allowed England to equalise, even if they had to huff and puff to it. The finale in Bristol, thus, is expected to be a you-blink-I-hit affair with England now aware of dealing with spin, and India getting a chance to rectify theirs against pace and bounce.

Combination wise, the bigger worry belongs to England. In their victory, they've arrived at a conundrum. Alex Hales's fifty means Ben Stokes's reintegration into the final XI isn't going to be as easy. "He [Stokes] is obviously a fantastic player, and there will be a difficult decision to make. We've made calls like this in the past, but we hope we'll make it for the betterment of the team - and put out our strongest XI. Alex [Hales] always makes it difficult, particularly in T20 cricket. He's played a lot for us - he's one of our highest runscorers, a very experienced campaigner. An innings like that tonight makes him a pretty strong case for the next game," Eoin Morgan said in the post-match presser in Cardiff. This means the big decision might involve relegating Joe Root to the bench, if they believe Stokes is a must-have.

Root has the backing of Paul Farbrace to succeed in the format and add a new dimension to a side filled with power-hitters, but hasn't managed much in the one-off fixture against Australia and the two outings against India - his only T20Is this year. In the face of a tough chase, England also have the tendency of letting the likes of Eoin Morgan and Jonny Bairstow bat ahead, pushing him down to No.6, where he doesn't quite fit in.

When: England vs India, 3rd T20I, July 8, 2018, 14:00 Local, 18:30 IST

Where: County Ground, Bristol

What to expect: Third successive hot match day, and another ground with shorter straighter boundaries.


India

Even the defeat in Cardiff shouldn't push India to shake things up already. Virat Kohli has already spoken about needing flexibility in the line-up keeping the 50-over World Cup in 2019 in mind, and the experiment of him dropping down to No. 4 should continue. Suresh Raina was the third-highest scorer in India's line-up on Friday, and has probably done enough to deny Dinesh Karthik and newcomer Krunal Pandya a chance in the T20Is.

Kuldeep Yadav was expertly kept at bay - and wicketless in the second game. The fear of being worked out was always going to be there, which even Kuldeep admitted after his heroics in Manchester. But the spinner-friendly venue at Bristol presents him with an opportunity to hit back.

Probable XI: Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli (c), MS Dhoni (wk), Suresh Raina, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav

England

Interestingly, Ben Stokes opened the innings for Durham in a T20 blast game against Yorkshire on Thursday, and scored a 68-ball 90 in a losing cause. There's very little chance the position from which Stokes scored his runs is going to be important to Morgan, as he is in dire need of more players who aren't vying for a spot in the top-two.

In the bowling department, Jake Ball should hold onto his place, even after a 22-run final over sullied his otherwise fantastic T20I debut.

Probable XI: Jos Buttler (wk), Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Joe Root/Ben Stokes, Eoin Morgan (c), Jonny Bairstow, Adil Rashid, Liam Plunkett, David Willey, Chris Jordan, Jake Ball

Sweden vs Switzerland

Sweden and Switzerland face each other in the penultimate game of the 2018 World Cup last 16 on Tuesday in the historic city of Saint Petersburg, with both countries viewing this game as an excellent opportunity to reach the quarter finals.


Sweden emerged from the group stage with six points from a possible nine to reach the knockout rounds, securing top spot in Group F after beating Mexico 3-0 in the final game.

They had only got into the UEFA playoffs during qualifying by virtue of having a better goal difference that the Netherlands and then ground out 1-0 aggregate win over Italy. Immediately, prior to the World Cup their result were poor, with no wins from their any of their four friendlies in March or June. That has mattered little since the start of the tournament, though
Switzerland were always expected to qualify for the knockout stages as second place behind Brazil in Group E and that is exactly what happened after drawing with the Selecao, before beating Serbia in the crucial game and then securing passage with a draw against Costa Rica.
During qualifying, a loss against Portugal in Lisbon in the final game was the only blot on an otherwise perfect 100% winning record, which led to a narrow playoff win over Northern Ireland.
