The fifth and final T20I match on Sunday in Mumbai will have India taking on England at the historic Wankhede Stadium. India have already won the series, 3-1, having clinched the last match in Pune; they will be aiming for a fitting final note to the tour. Conversely, England will take this fourth game as a pride game before they gain some momentum heading into the ODI series.
Historically, Wankhede is known for favoring batters, and one can expect runs to flow in plenty. India were successful in defending 181 in the previous game, thanks to 53 each from Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube. England were strong at the start but soon lost their way with the bat as wickets fell, particularly to India’s spinners.
India are likely to try out a few changes in their squad, while England will try and finish things off with a positive note. The match will begin at 7 pm IST after a 6.30 pm IST toss.
