Throw England chose to toast vs India

Jos Buttler finally won a throw in the Five match T20i series and gave England their first shot of chasing a goal. The track was on the dry side, but fear of dew turned out to be the decisive factor of the thrown. After losing the first two matches, England played their second must-win match in a row.

England made two changes to their XI, resting Mark Wood to Saqib Mahmood and brought Jacob Bethell back to Jamie Smith, who left with a stiff calf during the third match, England’s only victory in the series.
India welcomed Rinku Singh, who missed two matches with injury and took back the gap that was kept warm by Dhruv Jurel. Mohammed Shami’s comeback was stopped by a match when Arshdeep Singh returned to his place.
However, the big change was the introduction of Shivam Dube instead of Washington Sundar, giving a spin option, but not near the batting brand that Dube does.
