India seeks to avoid whitewash in fourth T20I against dominant England in Bristol.
England holds an unassailable 2-0 lead in the five-match T20I series, with India aiming for a consolation victory.
The story
As the cricketing world looks to Bristol, India is set to face England in the fourth T20I at the County Ground today, July 9. England has already clinched the five-match series with a commanding 2-0 lead, including a record 125-run victory in the third T20I on Tuesday.
India, led by Shreyas Iyer, will be looking for a crucial win to avoid a potential whitewash in the remaining matches. The pitch at Bristol is anticipated to be a high-scoring one, with short boundaries favoring batters, though fast bowlers like Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue, who impressed in the last game, are expected to find some swing and seam.
