To say India have been outplayed in the ongoing T20I series against England would be an understatement, as they find themselves trailing 0-3 in the series. The fifth and final T20I is set to be played on Saturday, July 11, at the Rose Bowl, Southampton, and the Men in Blue have a lot to play for heading into the fixture.
It’s for the first time since 2019 that India have lost back-to-back T20I series and are on a six-match winless streak for the first time in their history. The double World Champions have been atrocious in all three departments of the game and will be desperate to salvage some pride in the last game of the series.
On the other hand, England have already won their first-ever bilateral series of two or more matches against India. Another win in the fifth T20I will also catapult them to the top of the T20I rankings. Hence, there’s a lot to play for both teams in the upcoming fixture.
