India vs England Highlights, 4th T20I: ENG 159/1 Wins By Nine Wickets vs IND 158/7 | Phil Salt, Harry Brook Score Fifties As Hosts Clinch T20I Series

IND vs ENG Live Score Today, 4th T20I Match Updates: Harry Brook and company have put on quite the show. At the midway point, on a ground where the ball appeared to be holding, supporters were left wondering if India had a chance. The visitors’ run-chase did get off to a good start as they swiftly eliminated Buttler. But then England captain Brook ridiculed the target of 159. He played some bizarre strokes, walked around in the crease, and interfered with the lengths. His timing had been flawless throughout the series, but he hadn’t yet scored the big goal, and tonight was the time to do it. What a display. India has no replies at all. Phil Salt also received a fifty.

Since 2025, the average first-inning score at this location has been 166. It’s also reasonable to argue that India is not up to standard. The hosts put on another outstanding bowling display. In the powerplay, Jofra eliminated Vaibhav once again and Ishan Kishan was defeated by Tongue thanks to the hard lengths. Adil Rashid dismissed Abhishek in his opening over. All three of India’s best players, who were left-handers, died while attempting to hit across the line. Although Shreyas Iyer and Dube scored fifty runs together, England wouldn’t have been too concerned about their scoring rate. Adil Rashid was punished by Captain Shreyas when he went 6 4 6 in the 18th over. However, England’s overall performance in death overs was once again excellent. 

Shreyas Iyer’s Team India are staring down an infamous series defeat after losing the last two T20Is. The previous game at Nottingham was an embarrassing day in the history of Indian cricket as they suffered their biggest loss in the history of the shortest format. Having conceded 201 runs in the first innings, the Indian batters did not make any impact and were bowled out for 76 runs, conceding a 125-run defeat. The captain and head coach, Gautam Gambhir, are at the centre of all the criticism, as the World Champions are yet to win a game under the leadership of Iyer. 

India vs England T20I Series

It is the fourth T20I of the series, and the hosts have a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. The first game of the series was washed out and was abandoned after the first innings. The abandoned game has meant that England now has an unassailable lead, and the best the visitors can do is to win back-to-back games to level the series. In the second T20I, it was India’s bowling which came under criticism as they failed to defend 190 runs. In the following game, while the bowlers did not do so well and gave away 201 runs, the batters made sure that all criticism came their way as they were bowled out for only 76 runs.
