5th T20I: Curran Picks 3-36 As England Beat India By 56 Runs, Win Series 4-0
The Rose Bowl: Chasing a monumental target of 258, India’s run-chase got off to a flying start, but ultimately fizzled out as England secured a comprehensive 56-run victory in the fifth T20I here at The Rose Bowl on Saturday and clinched an emphatic 4-0 clean sweep.
With this win, England climbed to the top of the ICC Men's T20I team rankings and dethroned India, the reigning world champions, who suffered their sixth consecutive defeat in the format after ending up at 201/8 in 20 overs, despite fifties from Ishan Kishan (56) and Tilak Varma (53).
India’s response began aggressively, with Sanju Samson (27) smashing Jofra Archer for two boundaries in the opening over. Samson, brought in place of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, kept the momentum going by launching Josh Tongue for two spectacular sixes in the next over.
