Suryakumar Yadav impressed in his first opportunity to show what he was capable of on the international stage. After making his debut in Sunday’s India victory but not getting to bat, Yadav hit his first ball in international cricket for six as well as two other maximums in his 31 ball 57. Shreyas Iyer impressed again, as did the reliable Rishabh Pant, in Thursday’s win for India.
Hardik Pandya starred with the ball for India in the series levelling fixture. He not only took the wickets of Jason Roy and Sam Curran but returned figures of 2-16 from his 4 overs.
For England, Jofra Archer continued his impressive series by recording format best figures of 4-33, Jason Roy made his third 40 something of the series and Ben Stokes top scored with a 23 ball 46. However, all three will need to step up their performances again if England are to stop India.

India vs England 5th T20 Prediction & Betting Tips
India levelled the series at 2-2 on Thursday after beating England by 8 runs and becoming the first team to win a game in the series after losing the toss. The victory sets up an exciting winner takes all clash between the two sides, a potential dress rehearsal for the T20 World Cup Final later in the year. Read on as we preview this crucial game between India and England. The match will be played in Ahmedabad, India and will get underway at 19:00 local time.
Not only did India win after losing the toss, but they also became the first team in the series to bat first and win the game. This when many commentators and journalists were of the opinion that batting first and winning was nigh on impossible.
India once again have come from behind and shown their best when their backs are against the wall. A feature of this series has been the new India players taking their chance and looking at home at this level, Yadav’s half century backing up Ishan Kishan’s 56 on debut in the second game.
And did England gamble on the fitness of Mark Wood to try and wrap up the series in Thursday’s game? Will England’s fast bowler be able to crank up the pace again in the decider? We expect India to be too strong and defeat England to take the series 3-2.

India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
Ishan Kishan missed the last match with a groin injury but has a strong case for a recall if fit. KL Rahul’s place at risk after his series best 17-ball 14.
IND Key Players
Virat Kohli - He was very disappointed to trudge off the field after only scoring one run from five balls and we expect to see him respond strongly in the decider. Kohli is at his best when the eyes of the cricketing world are on him.
Rishabh Pant - The wicketkeeper delivered another useful inning, making 30, his highest score of the series so far. Crucially, after a 23-ball 21 in the first game, all his subsequent efforts have come with a strike rate above 125.
Hardik Pandya - The all-rounder’s bowling was on a different level to any of the players on either side in Thursday’s game. His batting is yet to really fire in the series, don’t be surprised if he delivers in both disciplines if he gets the opportunity in this game.
IND Team Form
India have bounced back yet again. Irrespective of the format, they never throw the towel in. India are aiming for their sixth successive series win in this format.
We’ve selected two wicket-keepers in Jos Buttler (9.5) and Rishabh Pant (8.5). Jonny Bairstow is unfortunate not to be selected but Pant’s consistency and Buttler’s position at the top of the order mean they can’t be ignored.
Batsmen
Virat Kohli at 10.5, Rohit Sharma at 10 and Jason Roy at 9 make up our batsmen. We are convinced that one if not all three will perform on the big stage in this match.
All-rounders
We couldn’t ignore Hardik Panya (9) or Ben Stokes (9) after they both showed their extraordinary talent in Thursday’s game.
Bowlers
With the ball we’ve selected Bhuvneshwar Kumar at 8.5 alongside three Englishmen in Jofra Archer at 9 and Adil Rashid and Mark Wood at 8.5. All four of these bowlers have been top performers throughout the series.
Captain/Vice-captain
Virat Kohli will be our skipper while Jofra Archer will be his deputy.

England Team News & Playing 11
ENG Team News
England will be looking to channel the spirit of Lord’s, July 2019 when they beat New Zealand via a super over in the final of the ODI World Cup.
ENG Key Players
Jason Roy - He came into the series with his place under threat but has responded with three scores of 40+ at the top of the order. England will be hoping that he can go beyond 50 and make a really significant score in this game.
Jofra Archer - England’s fast bowler showed he is getting better all the time with his T20I career best figures on Thursday. He also threatened to win the game for England with the bat when it looked like it was all over. His all-round ability should not be underestimated.
Mark Wood - The big question mark is how Wood will perform in this game and whether his body will be able to stand up to three matches in five days. If we see the pace that we’ve seen so far in the series then it will be a huge positive for England, if not, then it could be curtains for their hopes.
ENG Team Form
England have not lost any of their previous eight T20I series, winning seven of them and drawing against Pakistan last summer.
England Predicted Playing 11
Jason Roy, Jos Buttler (wk), Dawid Malan, Johnny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan (c) , Ben Stokes, Sam Curran, Jofra Archer, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood

The home side are favourites to win the final game and triumph in the series
Who will win India vs England 5th T20?
According to the bookmakers, there is not much between the sides but India have the edge.
We’ll back Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan for India. Kishan certainly deserves a recall, the newcomers have been a real breath of fresh air in the India camp.
For England, we’ll back their top three of Buttler, Roy and Malan. If England are to take the series, one of these players must bat throughout the innings.
This is the perfect end to the series for the global viewing public and the players alike who will be keen to show that they can perform in a deciding fixture. Both sides have not lost a T20I series for a long time and will be desperate to protect their records. Maybe we’ll even need a super over to separate the teams! However it is decided, we expect India to come out on top.
