India and England are all set to battle it out in the 2nd T20I as the men in blue will look to seal off the series with a game to go in Edgbaston. England, on the other hand, will look to get back to winning ways on the ground where they recently scripted history by chasing 378 on the fifth day of the final Test match.
Before all the action begins, here is everything you need to know about the venue of the 2nd T20I.
Will Toss Matter?
