Congrats to India on winning the series, I think they deserve this come from behind series win. It was an interesting series to watch as the first 3 games the team batting first went on to lose the games and in the last two games the team batting first won the games. I'm just happy to see Kohli get back into some good form and I think he deserved the play of the series with 3 not outs. Now hopefully he can continue on with this form into the ODI series.
India always like to entertain the fans by winning the series after getting defeated in the first game. It looks like a picture perfect ending for the past few series, getting trashed in the first match and then coming back and making it look spectacular as if they are looking for these thrilling matches rather than making it look easy Cheesy .

The way in which Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled is outstanding when the rest of the bowlers were trashed, if India had their best team then they could challenge any other teams by the way they performed in the last two matches.

As expected, India won the decider spectacularly outplaying England in both the batting and bowling departments.

England could have won this series through the previous match, but they messed up and India continue their unbeaten T-20 series streak. Was especially impressed with Bhuvi and Malan in this match.
The batting from England looked stunning, because the partnership went in a stable manner even after losing early wicket. Malan was the player of the match, and England could've taken this match on their side. Today Malan made a record of reaching 1000 runs in 24 matches which is the shortest of all.

First Hitman, then Surya kumar Yadav's cameo, followed by Kohli masterclass and Kungfu Pandya hitting..

What else you need when Top 4 batsmen perform like this in T-20. Shame that there is no spectators on the stands. England Batting line up has all the ingredients to win the match but big target pressure is always there, Would love to watch Buttler and Malan (especially him) if they gets going. Hoping for cracking chase from no 1 team.

India playing with 6 bowlers today so it should be good contest.
Haha It was really a great match today. Even though Malan and Butler tried their best to make a win today but the rest of the squad didn't show any support to them. I think another thing that India realized today is that their bowling does lacks experience. Thakur, Sundar & Natrajan even though bowled good at the end but were not able to break the very important partnership this thing becomes even more problematic in T20s as your prime experienced bowler which was Bhuvi had only 4 Limited overs. On batting I think this should be the new batting line up for India atleast when batting first.

LORD THAKUR!!!!!
I asked him to do the same duo wicket over and he did exactly the same, I was watching the match completely and the credits should also go to the Bhuvi who kept the bowling tight and asked the batsman to take over him which took the partnership which almost lasted for 10 runs if I am not wrong. Surprisingly he was given the man of match for that turn around while Virat took the player of series even though he is at the bad form. Cool

Until now Eng batsmen hitting every Indian bowlers with no mercy and they are still in the contest after the first 10 overs.

Need 107 from 56 balls and with 9 wickets in hand then it is certainly possibly.

Lord Rakur can do the same miracle again and turn the match into Indian side? Waiting for the moment... Grin
England need 83 runs from 30 balls. At the moment there are Dawid Malan and Morgan at the crease. Two very experienced players. Although it seems that the match is completely in the possession of India. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if a miracle happened and England will win.
England gonna loss the match. Once again chasing is going to be unsuccessful in this match. Right now 16 overs past, and England is in need of 81 runs to win the match. In the last four overs England has lost four wickets and has taken just 17 runs. This middle order lag is the reason for the loss.

Your prediction was bang on since Buttler and Malan are stringing together a vital partnership which will most probably decide the fate of this match.

However, I feel like the pressure will make them collapse primarily because of Bhuvi and Natarajan. India seem like they will most likely win the final and the T-20 series unless they mess up royally which I doubt will happen.
Well bhai

I had money on both of em.

Buttler is just fantastic t-20 player and Malan is no 1 T-20 batsman, he's was out of touch in last 4 games but i was rooting for him anyway.

Well match now belongs to India, England seems to losing the momentum. they need couple of blinders otherwise series belongs to India now.

I think the most interesting thing I have heard today is that it's Captain Kohli along with Hitman who would be opening up the proceedings for the team. Let's see if he actually does. On Rahul I am feeling bad for him but this is how things are Indian team is ultra competitive when it comes to bench strength. But yeah most interesting thing to watch today will be hitman Kohli show. Let's see what impression they make today.
Hell yeah, Kohli did open beautifully for RCB few times so why not? Deep down everyone wanted him to open when other batsmen were failing, score board doesn't look good when it shows 1 for 10 everytime. So i'm excited as well, hoping that this experiment clicks.

----
If this pair can squeeze power play well then it would be great from India's perspective.
Well what a game it was today. This type of batting and India is invincible I think this is the new opening duo we have found for India. Top 2 best batsmen in the world right in the front leading the whole playing XI the conriden in batting today was at next level. Even SKY and Pandya batted so well. I thought Rishab Pant was the most aggressive in this squad Grin but with SKY and Pandya in the squad the whole team is full of pinch hitters now. God save the bowlers.

When it mattered India is playing like champions, first three match the chasing won the match and now in crucial matches India is changing that narrative by winning batting first. India scored 224 runs and if England needs to win this match and the series they need to have a great start if not they will struggle like they did in the last match.

Edit: England lost the first wicket for zero.

Until now India is now scoring over 10 an over and now 15th over is on the run now. Just now watched the exceptional running one hand catch from Hoedan which removed the Surya Kumar Yadav. 8 wickets in hand can India pass 200 with the power hitters remaining in the batting order. Another surprising move is to bring Pandaya over Iyer and Pant when leg spinner was bowling.

So, The 5th T20I INDvENG series decider match is here to go! Team India have dropped one batsman and replace with bowler. Natarajan in place of KL Rahul which bring give Indian team an extra bowling option so now a team with a good balance with bat and ball. It is good to see T Natarajan in action and India going in with 6 bowling options. Unchanged England team chase again as they decided to field.

This would be my team for today

Kishan
Rohit
Surya
Kohli
Shreyas
Pant ( if need quick runs then Pant could play ahead of Shreyas at no 5, move Shreyas at no 6)
Pandaya
Shardul
Bhuvi
Sundar (He was expensive in the last game but conditions were tough when he came to ball so going with him again or Should Lord Tewatia play in the final game?)
Chahar

Tricky situation with the 5 bowler setup but no other choice as Jadeja is not there.
I would replace Kishan with Rahul on top since I feel like he will retain his form soon. Why Tewatia? Sundar was expensive in just 1 game(His worst performance so far which goes to show how economical he usually is).

Sundar can also bat really well down the order which is why I would stick with him. Also, Shardul needs to leak less runs in order to place India in a better spot.

Let's just hope that ICC take any steps against this "Umpires call" on such scenario before the T-20 world cup kicks in. Just imagine India vs Any team in the Finals and umpire call deciding the outcome (India losing the game). Riots Riots !!!  Grin Grin

I am in favor of the status quo, especially related to the LBW appeals. If the "Umpire's call" and "soft signal" are eliminated, then it will result in complete chaos and the decision of the field umpire would be overturned several times in the same match. And this will also result in the fielding team going for more reviews and the match can get delayed due to it. We have seen this during the 4th match as well, when the third umpire took almost 15 minutes to decide whether a catch was cleanly taken or not.
If something happening inside 30 yard circle then umpire calls with soft signal makes sense but not when action happening on boundary lines. On LBW decision, if ball clipping the wicket then it should be out IMO.

but it seems Kohli willing to stick with KL Rahul even after the disappointing everytime, hooe this time Ishan Kisan and Surya Kumar Yadav will get slots.
I'm hoping the same, let's see what Koach does.


 Why Tewatia?
Just in case.. I don't mind sticking with Sundar tho.
