1st T-20 - Eng won the toss and won convincingly.
2nd T-20 - Ind won the toss and again one-sided game
3rd T-20- - Eng won the toss and duh...

This Eng vs Ind T-20 series setting a weird template. Strategy from the both captains is, let's win the toss and ball first, easy peasy Grin

. 3 games and we are yet to watch any real contest, let's hope this pattern ends here.

IMO, it was just a coincidence. Second ODI would have won by India even if they were batting first. Ishan Kishan and Virat Kohli were in terrific form and if India was batting first they could have made a total of close to 200. Sam Curran opened the bowling for England, and Mark Wood was absent. Also, Tom Curran conceded plenty of runs.

Just for reminder, before 2nd match Virat was going through lean patch (including Test also : 11, 72, 0, 62, 27, 0, then followed by 0 in the first T-20 game).

~snip~

The pattern continues, Virat Kohli will be praying to win the toss so that he will be able to chase and level the series. The toss is a major part and the pitch might be easier to chase at night. During the IPL it will be interesting to see whether the pattern continues and most probably if matches are played here i will pick the team chasing Grin

.

Haha he and Morgan both.

Guess this ground got around 10 matches of IPL so yeah. BTW In IPL Mumbai Indian doesn't bother with the toss, %uckers always win Grin
