India vs England 5th T20I Ahmedabad Weather Forecast And Pitch Report
India will look to build on the confidence they gained in defending a target in the fifth T20I and win the fifth and final match at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday to clinch the series. The hosts have levelled the series from a match down twice. They lost the first and the third matches but won the second and fifth matches. The latest victory on Thursday came while defending a target of 186 runs. The first three matches went in favour of teams chasing and it seemed like England would win Thursday’s game when they put India in and got the early wicket of Rohit Sharma. However, Suryakumar Yadav, playing his first innings in international cricket, hit a quick half-century to put India on track. In each of India’s wins, one of the two Mumbai Indians’ stars — Ishan Kishan or Suryakumar, has clicked with the big-hitting and caught England by surprise. The pitch given for the fifth T20I was a black soil surface, which had a lesser pace than the one used for the third T20I. The pitch for the final match is also likely to be a black soil wicket and could see plenty of runs. India’s fast bowlers’ change in pace has played a crucial role in both their wins. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Hardik Pandya and Shardul Thakur made use of it to trouble the hard-hitting English batsmen. The weather at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad is expected to be hot and humid. The toss will once again play a crucial role in the game and will be one of the deciding factors.
