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 sealed the series 3-0 after three dominant wins, while one match ended without a result. They will now look to complete a 4-0 in the final match.
England have dominated 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 in Bristol. Their bowling attack, led by Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid, has also kept India under constant pressure.
India will be disappointed with their performances in the series. Shreyas Iyer's unbeaten 80 in the fourth T20I was the only major positive, but the rest of the batting lineup struggled once again. The visitors will aim to finish the series with a win and carry some confidence into the upcoming ODI series.
