England will take on India in the fifth and final T20I of the five-match series at The Rose Bowl, Southampton on Saturday, July 11. The hosts have already taken the series 3-0 after three dominant wins, while one match ended in a no-result. Now they will try to complete the score of 4-0 in the final match.
England have dominated in every department throughout the series. Harry Brook has led from the front with the bat, while Phil Salt returned to form with a match-winning unbeaten half-century at Bristol. Their bowling attack, led by Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid, has also kept India under constant pressure.
India will be disappointed with its performance in the series. Shreyas Iyer’s unbeaten 80 was the only major positive in the fourth T20I, but the rest of the batting lineup once again struggled. The visiting team will aim to finish the series with a win and bring some confidence into the upcoming ODI series.
