India vs England 5th T20I Playing 11 today: Check predicted XIs, team news

India will aim to avoid a series whitewash when they face hosts England in the fifth and final T20I at the Rose Bowl on Saturday.

After a crushing nine-wicket defeat in Bristol, Shreyas Iyer's side trail the five-match series 3-0, with the opening match having been washed out. A victory in the finale would help India salvage some pride after a disappointing campaign.

India's batting has struggled throughout the series. In the fourth T20I, the visitors once again suffered an early collapse before skipper Shreyas Iyer's unbeaten 80 guided them to 158/7. However, the total proved inadequate as Harry Brook and Phil Salt stitched together an unbroken 151-run stand to seal the chase with 37 balls to spare.


England have dominated the series with an aggressive brand of cricket, excelling in both batting and bowling. Under Harry Brook's leadership, the hosts have looked clinical, with contributions coming from across the squad.

India and England have met 34 times in T20Is. India hold a slight advantage with 18 wins, while England have won 15 matches, with one game ending without a result. The teams first met in the format on September 19, 2007, when India emerged victorious. Their most recent clash came on July 9, 2026, when England registered a comprehensive win to take an unassailable lead in the ongoing series.
