After suffering a crushing nine-wicket defeat in Bristol, Shreyas Iyer's side trail the five-match series 3-0, with the opening game having been washed out. They will look to avoid the whitewash on English soil for the first time and get a consolation win.

India's batting has let them down on the tour. After slipping to another shaky start in the 4th T20I, Iyer's unbeaten 80 almost single-handedly carried the visitors to 158/7. But the total proved nowhere near enough as Harry Brook and Phil Salt dismantled the attack with an unbeaten 151-run partnership, chasing the target with 37 balls to spare.

England, on the other side, is leaving no stones unturned to dismantle the visitors with sheer pace and an attacking mindset. Harry Brook's side is looking like a well-oiled machine, with both batters and bowlers contributing to their success.

India and England have faced each other in 34 T20Is, with India holding a narrow edge with 18 victories compared to England's 15 wins, while one match ended without a result. Their first-ever T20I meeting came on September 19, 2007, when India emerged victorious. The most recent encounter was on July 9, 2026, with England registering a comprehensive win to take an unassailable lead in the ongoing series.
