Weather Woes Could Dampen Second India-England T20

India have only played two T20 Internationals at Old Trafford, winning one and losing the other. Their last appearance on the ground came in 2018 when KL Rahul posted a flawless century to steer India to an eight‑wicket victory. The current squad will be hoping to replicate that success, but the looming rain clouds could turn the venue into a reluctant spectator.

In the abandoned first match, India’s top order looked solid. Abhishek Sharma’s aggressive 59 off 24 balls and captain Shreyas Iyer’s 68 off 47 set a strong platform, while Shivam Dubey added a swift 42 from 21 balls. However, the downpour halted England's chase before they could respond.
