India vs England T20I Live Score Online Today Match: Hello and a very warm welcome to our live coverage of the first T20I between India and England!
Expect a run-fest when India and England lock horns in the first T20I of their five-match series at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens tonight.
India are hosting England for eight white-ball matches including five T20Is and three ODIs in the lead-up to the next month’s Champions Trophy. India hasn’t lost a T20I series at home since January 2019 and the Suryakumar Yadav-led side will look to maintain their supremacy.
Focus will be on Mohammed Shami who will be playing in his first international game since the 2023 ODI World Cup final. The Indian team management will keep a close watch on how Shami’s body holds up after the 34-year-old spent over a year recovering from an ankle surgery with his comeback delayed by knee issues.
England is kickstarting a new era with coach Brendon McCullum now taking charge of their white-ball teams as well. Given the transformation he’s lead in England’s Test setup, the New Zealand great will hope to replicate the success in limited-overs cricket too.
