India vs England Preview:
India( IND) is set to face England( ENG) in their 5th T20I match during the England tour of India, in 2025. This match is scheduled to take place at The Wankhede Stadium on Monday, February 2
India:
India secured a 15-run win over England in the fourth T20I, turning the game around in both innings. Batting first on a favorable pitch in Pune, India stumbled early at 12-3 within the first two overs. However, counter-attacking half-centuries from Shivam Dube (53 off 34) and Hardik Pandya (53 off 30) helped them reach 181-9. The bowlers then stepped up under pressure to seal the victory, giving India a 3-1 lead in the series.
One of India’s biggest strengths in T20 cricket is their deep batting lineup, allowing them to play aggressively without depending on a single player. Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma have been in great form at the top and are expected to make an impact on this flat surface.
Suryakumar Yadav hasn’t been at his best this series, but playing on his home ground could be the boost he needs. Meanwhile, India’s middle and lower order—featuring Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, and Rinku Singh—remains a potent force, capable of delivering quick runs.
On the bowling front, Mohammad Shami might replace Arshdeep Singh for the final T20I, while Axar Patel could make way for Harshit Rana, who impressed on debut as a concussion substitute for Dube, taking 3-33. If Dube is unavailable, Ramandeep Singh is likely to step in.
Spinners Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi have consistently troubled England’s batters throughout the series and will be crucial again in controlling the middle overs.
England:
England missed a golden chance to level the series in the fourth T20I. After reducing India to 12-3, they let the hosts recover and post a challenging 181. Their chase started brilliantly at 62-0 within six overs, but reckless batting cost them the momentum, leading to a disappointing defeat. If they want to finish the series on a high, their middle order will need to step up.
Despite the setback, England’s batting remains dangerous. Philip Salt has struggled this series but is due for a big knock. Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler, and Harry Brook have shown glimpses of form, and this pitch should suit their attacking style. Liam Livingstone is another key player to watch—his power-hitting makes him a serious threat, especially against India’s spinners.
On the bowling side, England has been impressive. Jofra Archer, Saqib Mahmood, and Jamie Overton have used their pace and bounce effectively to trouble India’s batters. However, their biggest weapon has been their leg-spinner, who has taken four wickets while maintaining an economy of 6.50. If India wants to avoid another collapse, they’ll need a solid plan to counter him in the middle overs.
