5th T20I: India beat England by 36 runs, win series 3-2

When India go 0-1 down in a series, opposition teams are going to be wary from now on. For the third successive time in international cricket, India scripted a memorable series win after coming back from behind. After losing the first T20I against the World No.1 English side, the Asian giants completed a 3-2 comeback in a 5-match series and walked away with the bragging rights.

The series between the top 2 sides was perfectly set-up for a cracking finish in Ahmedabad on Saturday and it was India who emerged victorious, hammering England by 36 runs in the 5th T20I.

With the victory, India extended



their unbeaten series run in T20Is to 8 while England's unbeaten run of 5 away series came to an end. India have also won their last 6 T20I series on the trot, a run that started with a home series win against Bangladesh in November 2019.

India also extended their unbeaten run against England in T20I cricket to 7 years as they last lost a series (a one-off match) in 2014.

Leading into the T20 World Cup, India, as England captain Eoin Morgan exclaimed before the series, have established themselves as favourites with series wins on the bounce against New Zealand (5-0), Australia (2-1) and England (3-2).
