India vs England, 4th T20I Match Preview:
The Indian top-order failed once again to get going despite getting Rohit Sharma back in the opening slot. KL Rahul's three consecutive failures have opened up the questions of his inclusion in the next match. He could make way for Suryakumar Yadav, who got dropped to accommodate Rohit in the playing XI. Virat Kohli has returned to form and will be the key player for India in the next match.
Yuzvendra Chahal has been expensive in this series. There is a very minute chance of him getting replaced by either Rahul Tewatia or Rahul Chahar. Shardul Thakur is likely to be rested and Navdeep Saini could replace him.
England batsmen remained dominant throughout the run-chase. Jos Buttler played a match-winning knock of 83 and showed why he is known as 'Jos the Boss'. The visitors won't be changing anything in their matchwinning batting lineup.
Mark Wood returned to the playing XI in 3rd T20I and blasted the Indian top-order. The extra bounce and pace he is generating have been difficult to play for the batsmen. It is unlikely that England will change their bowling unless they decide to bring in Moeen Ali.
England has dominated India twice this series and needs just one win to seal the five-match series. The fourth game is likely to get a tight finish as both teams would be desperately playing for the win.
