England Defeat India by Nine Wickets to Clinch T20I Series 3-0

England Defeat India by Nine Wickets to Clinch T20I Series 3-0PreviousNext

England secured a dominant nine-wicket victory over India in the fourth T20I at Bristol, clinching the five-match series 3-0. India posted 158 for seven, led by captain Shreyas Iyer's unbeaten 80, but England's Harry Brook (79*) and Phil Salt (59*) chased the target in just 13.5 overs. The defeat marks India's first consecutive T20I series losses since 2018-19 and continues a challenging start to Iyer's captaincy, who remains winless in six matches.
