Match Preview:

India, the reigning World T20 winners, will play the visitors in the second Twenty20 International of the five-match series after defeating England by a significant margin of seven wickets in the first T20I. MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai will host the second match of the Twenty20 International series on January 25 at 7:00 PM (IST).

In the first Twenty20 International, India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, utterly overpowered the Englishmen, chasing down the mark in only 12.5 overs and burying them with a score of just 132 runs in the first innings. In addition, the men in blue have had a fantastic run of play in their past five Twenty20 Internationals, winning four of them and losing only one. In November of last year, they also won the four-match T20I series against South Africa 3-1. India will now want to win this match in order to extend their advantage in the five-match series from 1-0 to 2-0.

However, following a crushing loss in the opening match of the T20I series, Jos Buttler's England will be hoping to bounce back. In addition to a "no-result" game, they have lost and won two of their previous five Twenty20 Internationals. In order to tie the series at one, the tourists will be aiming to win this match.

In the second Twenty20 International of the series, the hosts may select a bowlers-heavy playing XI to put pressure on the English team, while the English batting attack may falter at the Chennai ground. The outcome of this match will have a significant impact on how the series develops.
