India vs England, 1st T20 live streaming: Check Durham weather, predicted XIs, pitch report, and more

Team India would be keen to bury the horrors of Belfast and make a fresh start against England in a five-match T20 international series on Wednesday.

After the debacle against the Lorcan Tucker-led Ireland, the challenge would be greater for Shreyas Iyer, whose India T20 captaincy run began with a resounding defeat.

One of the biggest highlights of Team India is Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, whose possible India debut against Ireland was deferred.

The team management is expected to back their settled openers, Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson. But fans will be watching closely to see if the 15-year-old cricketing prodigy finally gets his chance against a heavyweight like England.
