India vs England playing 11 prediction
Suryakumar Yadav returned to the India playing 11 in the fourth T20 and made a statement straightaway by sending Jofra Archer for a gigantic SIX in a calypso style. While in the bowling department Rahul Chahar also proved his selection right by claiming two wickets upfront before dew shifted the advantage in England’s favours.
Meanwhile Virat Kohli may be tempted to bring in Ishan Kishan, who missed the 4th T20 due to a niggle, in place of KL Rahul. The Karnataka batsman failed to make any impression in the series so far and India must field its best possible playing 11 on the basis of current form in a crucial game.
India tentative playing 11: Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan/KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rahul Chahar.
England would also retain its playing 11 for the series decider unless any player gets injured before the start of the play on Saturday.
England playing 11: Jason Roy, Jos Buttler, Dawid Malan, Jonny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan, Ben Stokes, Sam Curran, Jofra Archer, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood.

India vs England 5th T20: Motera pitch report
There was a lot of dew on the ground for the 4th T20 match at Motera Stadium. Though, India bowlers were able to defend a score in excess of 180 by mixing the deliveries. The main reason for the dew has been cloud cover during the evening, which did not allow the water vapours in the air to evaporate thus forming the dew.
There is a forecast of hazy sunshine and a thin blanket of cloud cover on March 20 at Motera. So, if it remains as forecast suggested then again pitch will be out of contention and dew will take the centre stage during IND vs ENG 5th T20 match.

India made a strong statement by defending a target of 186 in the fourth T20 at Motera, which also saw a lot of dew on the outfield.
