England are playing with pride just at the end of the three T20I in the third T20I against India in the ICC Cricket World Cup at Trent Bridge on Sunday.
Jos Buttler’s first match after replacing Eoin Morgan in the captain’s role turned out to be an uproar in the first few games as the visitors followed up their first victory in Southampton by claiming a 49-run victory at Edgbaston.
Despite a solid bowling performance by the Buttler team, with Lancashire pacer Richard Gleeson taking 3/16 on debut and Chris Jordan claiming 4/27 to keep India to 170/8. Bhuvneshwar Kumar as well as Jasprit Bumrah performed admirably with the new ball , allowing them to score five wickets each and knock the hosts down to 121.
But, what is a greater perspective of an World Cup looming in Australia in the near future, which implies that there’s anything that can be described as dead rubber at the moment?

Why are England playing India now?
A fiasco familiar to many sporting events since the start of the pandemic developed on the eve of the scheduled fifth Test in Manchester in September 2021.
Amid a rise in COVID-19 cases among India’s group, the visitors were unable to field a team at Old Trafford, leaving many fans frustrated at short notice.
The financial implications were dire, with 90,000 supporters requiring refunds and a shortfall of £40 million ($49 million) widely reported.
The England and Wales Cricket Board’s chief executive at the time, Tom Harrison, dismissed talk that players were predominantly concerned with being ready for the resumption of the Indian Premier League the following week, adding that the board was “absolutely gutted”.
“It’s a really sad day,” Harrison said. “My heart goes out to fans. There are no winners in this scenario, it’s just a really, really sad day for Test cricket, globally.”
A solution was found when the fifth Test was scheduled for Edgbaston at the start of July, with England completing a record chase to win by seven wickets under the news leadership of Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum.
India agreed to play England in One Day International and T20 matches as part of their tour.
