England continued their dominance over India, securing a comprehensive victory in the fourth T20I in Bristol to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.
After winning the toss, India opted to bat first but struggled against England’s disciplined bowling attack. Apart from captain Shreyas Iyer, no Indian batter managed to make a significant impact.
India posted 158/7 in their allotted 20 overs, with Iyer producing a fighting knock of 80 off 49 balls. For England, Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue claimed two wickets each to keep the visitors under pressure throughout the innings.
Chasing 159, England made light work of the target, racing to victory in just 14 overs after losing only one wicket. Phil Salt smashed 59, while Harry Brook remained the standout performer with an unbeaten 79, steering the hosts to one of their most convincing wins of the series.
The latest defeat compounds India’s struggles after they were bowled out for just 76 while chasing 201 in the third T20I—one of their heaviest defeats in the format.
With four matches completed, England now hold an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match T20I series, underlining their complete dominance over India. If they win the final game, England will complete a clean sweep, while India will be aiming to salvage some pride in the series finale.
