India will be hoping to keep the five-match T20I series alive when they face England in the fourth T20I at the County Ground, Bristol, on Thursday, July 9. After a disappointing start to the tour, the visitors must win the remaining two matches to level the series.

India have endured a difficult campaign so far, suffering defeats in the opening two T20Is before being bundled out for just 76 while chasing 201 in the third match. With the series slipping away, Shreyas Iyer's side will be under pressure to produce a much-improved performance.

Here's everything you need to know about the India vs England 4th T20I, including live streaming details, match timings, predicted playing XIs, pitch report and weather forecast.

India aim to bounce back after batting collapse

India's batting line-up has struggled despite featuring several experienced T20 players alongside teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.

The visitors suffered a dramatic collapse in the third T20I, getting bowled out for just 76 in 11.4 overs, one of their heaviest defeats in the format.

Captain Shreyas Iyer will be hoping his batters can recover quickly as India look to stay alive in the series.

Bowlers searching for consistency

India's bowling attack has also struggled to contain England's aggressive batting.

Axar Patel, who impressed in the second T20I with an economical spell, endured a difficult outing in the third match, conceding runs at an economy rate of 12.25 while taking one wicket.

Arshdeep Singh picked up two wickets but leaked 40 runs, while young pacer Prince Yadav emerged as India's standout bowler after replacing Ravi Bishnoi. Yadav claimed the key wickets of Jos Buttler and Harry Brook while maintaining an economy rate of 7.50.

India vs England 4th T20I pitch report

The County Ground is generally regarded as an excellent batting venue in T20 cricket.

The pitch usually offers good pace and bounce, allowing batters to play attacking strokes from the outset. The relatively short square boundaries also encourage high-scoring contests.

Fast bowlers could enjoy some movement with the new ball, particularly if overhead conditions remain cloudy. However, as the innings progresses, batting tends to become considerably easier.

Spinners are expected to rely more on variations than significant turn from the surface.

India vs England 4th T20I weather forecast today

The weather forecast for Bristol looks encouraging. Conditions are expected to remain mostly sunny and warm, with temperatures around 32°C during the evening.

There is little to no chance of rain, meaning the match is expected to proceed without weather interruptions.

Can India keep the series alive?

With England holding the upper hand and India needing victories in both remaining matches to avoid a series defeat, Thursday's contest carries significant importance.

A stronger batting display, coupled with disciplined bowling, will be essential if India are to force the series into a deciding fifth T20I. England, meanwhile, will be aiming to continue their dominant form and wrap up the series with a game to spare.
