India captain Shreyas Iyer admitted his side fell short in execution after England sealed the T20I series with a nine-wicket win, while backing the young team to learn during its transition phase.
Harry Brook's unbeaten 79 and Phil Salt's 59 guided England to a dominant nine-wicket win over India in the fourth T20I, sealing the series 3-0.
After winning the toss, England got off to a positive start with Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett enduring a tough first hour in swinging conditions before lifting the visitors to 64 for 0 with their seventh 45-plus stand in nine partnerships on this tour. However, that scoreline was 175 for 6 by the time Ben Stokes became Kuldeep’s fifth and final scalp, and ultimately 218 all out with Ashwin running through the tail.
The visitors have made two changes: speed bowler Ollie Robinson has replaced Mark Wood, and spinner Sohaib Bashir has taken the place of Rehan Ahmed.
It’s a do-or-die situation for England, battling survival chances, leaving aside thoughts of defending their title. For India, the task is cut out — do not let complacency creep in, and look to continue the momentum.
