The fate of the series has already been decided in India's favor. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side beat England by 15 runs in the fourth T20I to go 3-1 up in the series. Batting first, India scored 181/9 before bowling out England for 166 runs to take an unassailable lead.
The upcoming IND vs ENG 5th T20I will be played on Sunday (February 2) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The match will be played from 7:00 PM (IST).
England:
Jos Buttler (c), Rehan Ahmed, Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Ben Duckett, Jamie Overton, Jamie Smith, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood, Phil Salt, Mark Wood
Jos Buttler did fail to score big in the do-or-die fourth T20I but has looked in good touch in the series. He is England's leading run-scorer in the series and will be looking to end the series on a good note. In 4 games so far, Buttler has scored 139 runs and will be keen to lead his team from the front in the fifth T20I as well.
Jofra Archer vs Sanju Samson:
On all three occasions, Archer got the better of Samson by bowling short deliveries. Archer can trouble any batsman in the world with his pace and will be looking to dismiss Samson once again in the fifth T20I.
Hardik Pandya made the difference with the bat for India in the fourth T20I. India were reeling at 79/5 when he walked out to bat and went on to score a brilliant fifty to rescue India. Pandya scored 53 runs off just 30 balls. He was also India's top-scorer in the third T20I, scoring 40 runs.
And England will be relying on their allrounder Jamie Overton to get rid of Pandya. Overton has dismissed Pandya in the last three games and will be eyeing more success against him.
