Preview

In the second T20I of the India tour of England 2026, England (ENG) will face India (IND) at Old Trafford in Manchester. The first T20I at Chester-le-Street was abandoned due to rain after India posted 190 runs. Both teams will now be eager to play a full match and take an early lead in the five-match series.

England will be confident of performing well at home, especially at Old Trafford, where the pitch generally offers good bounce and pace for the batters. Captain Harry Brook will be expected to lead from the front, while players such as Jos Buttler, Phil Salt and Jacob Bethell can put India’s bowlers under pressure with their aggressive batting.

India will head into the second T20I with confidence after an impressive batting performance in the rain-affected opening game. Captain Shreyas Iyer led from the front with an important half-century and became the first Indian captain to score a T20I fifty in England.
