India 115/3 in 10.5 Overs | India vs. England 5th T20I Live Score: Captain Shreyas Iyer falls as India lose third in 258-run chase

India vs. England 5th T20I Live Score: India will be hoping to salvage some pride when they take on England in the fifth and final T20I of the series at the Rose Bowl in Southampton on Saturday. With England already holding an unassailable 3-0 lead after losing the first match, the visitors will be keen to avoid the series and end the tour with a win.

India’s biggest problem throughout the series has been their inconsistent batting. The visitors repeatedly fail to build solid starts and put pressure on the middle order. In the fourth T20I in Bristol, captain Shreyas Iyer produced a fighting unbeaten 80 to help India post 158/7 after another shaky start. Despite his efforts, the target was never enough as England’s batsmen dominated the chase.

Harry Brook and Phil Salt were unstoppable and shared an unbeaten 151-run partnership that saw England to a comprehensive nine-wicket victory with 37 balls to spare. England consistently beat India in all departments, combining aggressive batting with disciplined bowling to maintain complete control of the series.

Historically, the rivalry has been highly contested. India and England have met 34 times in T20 Internationals, with India leading the way with 18 wins compared to England’s 15, with one match ending in a draw. Their first meeting came in the inaugural ICC T20 World Cup in 2007, where India emerged victorious. However, England held the upper hand in the ongoing series as they won the final encounter on 9 July to seal the match.
