India and England will clash in the fifth T20I match on Sunday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. India has already won the series 3-1, but England will be playing for pride and hoping to get momentum ahead of the ODI series.
The previous match was a cliffhanger with multiple twists and turns. India was left at 12/3 after Saqib Mahmood’s triple-wicket maiden, but Shivam Dube and Hardik Pandya’s fifties saw them still reach 182. England’s reply was promising, with Salt and Duckett putting on a 50-run opening partnership. They lost their way, though, and went from 62/1 to 65/3.
Harshit Rana, who replaced Dube due to concussion, dismissed Livingstone and delivered a crucial blow in the penultimate over. Brook’s 25-ball fifty kept England in the match, but his dismissal and Carse’s hoisting out sealed the victory for India.
England will feel that they could have won, having had chances galore to win the game. The Indian spinners, however, were the difference, delivering crucial blows whenever the game was getting away. The stage is set for an interesting encounter at the Wankhede Stadium, with England seeking redemption and India seeking to win the series on a high.

Who Will the Match?
The fourth Twenty20 International between England’s and India’s is anticipated to be a fierce contest. Despite the fact that both sides are strong in their own right, England’s bowling is strong and India’s batting order is outstanding. However, if form and home advantage are taken into consideration, the Indians would perform better in front of their home crowd. India would attempt to win the series by riding well-known circumstances under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav.
