India and England will face off in the fifth and final T20I of the series on Sunday at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. With an unassailable 3-1 lead, India have already clinched the series, but the final encounter presents both teams with key opportunities. India would hope to end on a dominant note while England would look to salvage some pride.

India have been the superior side throughout the series amid home conditions, coming out with aggressive batting and disciplined bowling. In the fourth T20I, they outplayed England with a clinical performance, sealing the series with a game to spare. Their bowling was instrumental in restricting England from getting over the line. England's batting lineup faltered against India’s disciplined attack, leading to yet another disappointing loss.

For the final match, England will be eager to bounce back and avoid a 4-1 series defeat. A win in the final T20I would not only boost their morale but also provide confidence heading into ODI series. England will aim to put together a strong performance and restore some lost pride.
