India vs England, 1st Test Match, Predicted XIs: The fifth and final T20I between India and England will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday, March 20.Team India levelled the series 2-2 on Thursday, thanks to a masterful performance with the bat. Suryakumar Yadav in his maiden T20I innings bludgeoned the England bowlers, while the pace trio of Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Shardul Thakur also came up trumps with the ball. With momentum on their side, India would ideally fancy their chances of a series win, however, it may not be as straightforward as said.
On the other hand, England are one of the most well-balanced T20I team in the world. However, they will be looking to fine-tune their form and strategy ahead of the series decider. While the likes of Jofra Archer, Mark Wood and Jos Buttler are in a good form,Dawid Malan and Chris Jordan, both have been underwhelming in the series with the bat so far. All in all, the visitors are still a force to reckon in the shortest format of the game.
Both teams seem equally matched on paper, but India, with momentum on their side, hold the advantage over England. The toss will be crucial in the epic decider that will take place at Motera Stadium, as both sides will be looking to seal the series and assert their dominance.
The 5th T20I is scheduled to start at 7:00 PM IST.
