India have a golden opportunity to seal an unbeatable 2-0 lead and a series win when they take on England in the 2nd T20I at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Friday. The hosts will be eyeing a hat-trick of series wins against the visitors for the second successive time at home following the series sweep they managed against England in 2016-17. After having sealed the Test series 3-1 and T20I series 3-2, India began the ODI series on the right note on Tuesday with a 66-run win in the 1st ODI. Shikhar Dhawan's 98 and quickfire fifties from KL Rahul and Krunal Pandya helped India post a competitive total of 317. In reply, England managed only 251 despite a 135-run opening stand as Prasidh Krishna shone on debut with a record-breaking 4-wicket haul.
