Having levelled the five-match series in the 4th T20I on Friday, India face England in the 5th T20I, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday. The hosts will be hoping to win the decider and end the series on a good note, ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup. Virat Kohli’s side entered the series in good form, but are up against a tough opposition in England, who are also currently the best T20I team in the world. Despite losing two matches already, India have found plenty of squad depth, with the likes of Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan shining with the bat. In the fourth T20I, Suryakumar slammed 57 runs off 31 balls, which helped India register a win by eight runs. Meanwhile, Kishan smashed a half-century (56 off 32 balls) on debut to help his side win the 2nd T20I by seven wickets. All-rounder Rahul Tewatia is yet to feature in the ongoing series and could make his debut on Saturday. England will be trying to build some consistency with the bat, and hope that their bowlers leak fewer runs. Jofra Archer and Mark Wood have been in good form for Eoin Morgan’s side, but haven’t been supported properly by Chris Jordan. (LIVE SCORECARD)
