India will take on England in the fourth T20I at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune on Friday. The hosts have a 2-1 lead and they would look to clinch the series whereas England would look to stay alive.
Indian batters could not deliver in the last game despite chasing 172 runs at Rajkot. Ergo, the hosts would want to come up with an improved batting show as they weren’t at their best.
England, on the other hand, would have taken a lot of confidence after an impressive bowling show in the previous game. Adil Rashid and Jofra Archer were brilliant for the visitors and they are once again going to hold the key.
