The fourth India vs England T20I will be played in Pune on Friday, January 31. India's loss in the third game in Rajkot has spiced up the series. It has also given England a big opening to make a comeback and to potentially win the series.
India in Rajkot failed to chase 172 to win with the England pacers chipping away with wickets and Adil Rashid squeezing the run-scoring in the middle overs. Chasing 172 to win, India reached only as far as 145/9. England with their limited resources managed to restrict India well inside their total.
The win should give England a lot of confidence to make a comeback in the remaining two games. Heading into this game, they will weigh in on their squad and look to play the best combination. They have a few batters concerned with their form namely Phil Salt who has failed to get a start whatsoever in this series so far.
IND vs ENG 4th T20I Match Preview
Team India needs to perhaps tinker with their playing combination. Playing just one specialist seamer is not working for the side at the moment. Plus Hardik Pandya cannot guarantee four overs in every game. India can afford to bring in an extra seamer in place of Dhruv Jurel who did not have a good game in the previous encounter. It will be interesting to see whether Mohammed Shami gets a longer run and plays the next two games.
Skipper Suryakumar Yadav is not his free-flowing self. So far, India have won the first two games through individual brilliance and they need to play as a team in the remaining two games.
Talking about England, the only concern they have heading into the Pune game is whether to play two spinners. The wicket assists the spinners and hence the thought will be to include Rehan Ahmed and play him alongside Adil Rashid. The batters especially Phil Salt is due for some runs. Meanwhile, Jamie Smith might not play this game as he was seen getting out of the field due to some discomfort in his calf.
IND vs ENG Head to Head Records

IND vs ENG 4th T20I Match Prediction
England have a very good chance to make a comeback in the series. They managed to eke out a win with their bowlers delivering the performance on a batting-friendly wicket. In Pune, where the pitch assists the spinner, England, if they play with a proper combination can definitely challenge the Indian batters which has been shaky in the series so far.
