India and England are set to face off in the final T20I of their five-match series on Sunday, 2 February. India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, have already secured the series with three wins out of the four games played so far. India dominated the first two T20Is, before England made a strong comeback to win the third match. However, India sealed the series by winning the fourth match on Friday, taking an unassailable 3-1 lead.
Despite clinching the series, concerns remain over the batting form of the top order, particularly that of Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav. The fifth T20I also marks a special occasion for Suryakumar Yadav, as he will captain India for the first time at his home ground in Mumbai. Both Samson and SKY have struggled with the bat during the series, but they will be eager to make an impact at the Wankhede Stadium, where they have had strong T20 batting records in the past, including in the IPL.
