IND vs ENG 2025: 3 players who can make a big impact for England in 5th T20I against India

The ongoing five-match T20I series between India and England is in its fag end with the final match scheduled for February 02 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The visitors came back well after going down in the first two games by winning the third match by 26 runs. However, a loss in Pune meant that India took an unassailable lead going into the game at Wankhede. 

On paper, this game might be an inconsequential match for the visiting side. However, they will be expected to take the contest in as serious a manner as any high-stakes encounter. They would be keen on ending the 20-over segment on a high, to carry forward the same momentum in the three-match ODI series to follow. 

Let's look at 3 English players who can be impactful in 5th T20I

3. Saqib Mahmood

Playing his first competitive game in a couple of months, Saqib Mahmood started off with a bang. Coming in the place of Mark Wood, he commenced off his spell with a triple-wicket maiden. Although he was on the receiving end in his second spell, it was quite a decent game for the right-arm pacer.

The deck at the Wankhede, although conducive to batting, is bound to assist the pace bowlers at the start of each innings. Mahmood is expected be quite a handful with the ball due to the tendency of him generating swing. The manner in which Mahmood performs during the death overs will be crucial for England.
