India vs England, 4th T20I – Match Preview

India will square off against England in the fourth T20I at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune on Friday. The hosts have a 2-1 lead and they would want to seal the series in Pune whereas the visitors will look to stay afloat.

We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form of England: W L L NR L 

England came up with a better show in the last game with their bowlers doing a better job. The tourists will want more from their batters in the penultimate match of the series and will want the likes of  Phil Salt and Harry Brook to step up.

India could not bring their best with the bat in the last game and the home team would be disappointed with their mundane show with the bat. The batters will want to bat with more responsibility.
