Team India will be up against England in the fifth and final T20I in Mumbai on Sunday, February 2. The Men in Blue sealed the series but it wasn't their best performance and the controversy over concussion substitute just took the sheen off their performance. Harshit Rana made his T20 debut as a concussion substitute and managed to snatch the game after the twin fifties from Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube got the team to a strong score of 181 runs.
Harry Brook found some form in Pune and England will hope now that the vice-captain can build on to something with a T20I, three ODIs and a Champions Trophy to come. Saqib Mahmood's introduction in the series was rather phenomenal as he took three wickets in one over to peg India back early before the hosts recovered on the back of middle-order recovery.
India's evident problems include the form of their key batters Sanju Samson and skipper Suryakumar Yadav, who haven't hit their straps in four matches thus far. England, on the other hand, need a bit from their middle order as Phil Salt finally got a few runs from hit bat with Ben Duckett continuing his good run. With Brook finding form, if the middle-order does the job, England can aim for a 2-3 finish and go into the ODIs with some momentum.
