England Defeat India by Nine Wickets to Take 3-0 Lead in T20I Series
England secured a 3-0 lead in the five-match T20I series against India by defeating them by nine wickets in the fourth match at Bristol. India, led by Shreyas Iyer who scored an unbeaten 80, managed 158 for 7, but England's openers Harry Brook (79*) and Phil Salt (59*) chased the target comfortably in 13.5 overs. This marks India's first back-to-back T20I series losses in seven years and continues Iyer's search for a maiden win as captain.
