England assistant coach Paul Collingwood on Friday said that the fifth and final T20 International match against India here on Saturday will be another opportunity to get the experience of knockout cricket which will be crucial ahead of this year's T20 World Cup in India.

"It's a huge game. It feels like another great opportunity to get the experience of knockout cricket," said Collingwood while speaking to the British media.

India and England are locked 2-2 in the ongoing T20I series with Saturday's game becoming the decider. Eoin Morgan's side was leading 2-1 before Virat Kohli's men won Thursday's encounter by eight runs to push the series into the decider.

"Leading into a World Cup, you need this kind of experience to see how players deal with the pressure. It's another experience you can draw on, to use the memories of, to hopefully have success," he added.
