The caravan moves on to the T20Is after the completion of the longer formats.
After claiming a sensational draw at Bristol, the visitors were clueless in the first two ODIs as they were defeated comprehensively by the English side. In the third ODI, they won a thriller and got the reward in form of a consolation win.
The two teams would now be facing each other in the shortest format of the game. Both the sides look balanced but the hosts England have been absolutely brilliant ever since the start of the tour.
HEAD TO HEAD
The two teams have met each other on 19 occasions in the shortest format of the game, in which England have dominated India by winning 15 of them. The visitors have only 4 wins to show and would be waiting eagerly to change the tide.
RECENT FACEOFFS
The two teams had met each other three times in the year 2020, all of them in Australia. India won one while England won one game in the tri-series held in Australia. In the semifinal of the T20 World Cup, their match was abandoned due to rain.
RECENT RESULTS
India lost the T20I series 1-2 at home against South Africa. On the other hand, England clean sweeped WI (5-0) at home and NZ (3-0) in NZ. They're on the back of a streak of eight consecutive wins in T20Is. It's a no brainer that the hosts start as the favourites to win.
