IND vs ENG, 5th T20I: Stats Preview of Players' Records and Approaching Milestones

India will head to the fifth T20I of their series against England with a 3-1 lead and the series already in the bag, while the visitors will only be left ruing any and all mistakes that they made.

Now, the fifth and final game of the 20-over leg will be played at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday, February 02, where The Three Lions will be hoping to end the series on a high, and move to the One-Day Internationals (ODIs). The Men in Blue, on the other hand, may look to experiment with a few changes as they have already clinched the series with the Pune win.

The win has extended India's unbeaten series streak in T20Is at home all the way back to 2019. In the fourth T20I, India were struck an early blow when Saqib Mahmood bowled a triple-wicket maiden in the second over of the innings. But India's batters worked towards bringing it back by stitching crucial partnerships. Shivam Dube and Hardik Pandya scored fifties towards the back end of the innings to lift India to a respectable total on a flat deck.

England started positively in the powerplay, but as has been the story all series, England's batting unravelled to India's spin. India's spinners induced collapses in England's top order, but Harry Brook held fort with a fifty. Harshit Rana - Dube's substitute because of a concussion - then controversially started a collapse that Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi contributed to. England were in the game almost until the end, until they weren't and slumped to a 15-run loss in a game they thought they had in the bag.
