England vs India Prediction, 5th T20I – Who will win today’s match between ENG vs IND?

England (ENG) will look to maintain a clean slate against India (IND) when they take on the T20 World Cup champions in the fifth and final T20I on Saturday, July 11, at The Rose Bowl in Southampton.

Harry Brook's men have been very dominant this series and taken an unassailable 3-0 lead already. They will want to finish with another win on Saturday to rub salt into India's wounds.

Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer-led India have looked very clueless. The batting department needs to take more responsibility. When they have tried to play positive cricket, they have lost wickets in clusters. In the last game, they tried to mix caution with aggression. However, the lack of intent in the firs 10 overs of the match cost them. It is important for them to strike the right balance between attack and defense.
