Half-centuries from Harry Brook and Phil Salt powered England to a easy win over India at Bristol on Thursday. Chasing 159 to win, the hosts completed the rout in just 14 overs, taking a 3-0 lead in the series. It marked successive T20I series loss for India for the first time since 2019, marking a sorry start to Shreyas Iyer's captaincy.
England produced a clinical all-round performance to outclass India by nine wickets in the fourth T20I at Bristol on Thursday, sealing the five-match series with an unassailable 3-0 lead. Chasing a modest target of 159, the hosts barely broke a sweat as Harry Brook and Phil Salt struck commanding half-centuries to complete the chase in just 14 overs.
For India, it was a night to forget as the crushing defeat marked their second successive T20I series loss—the first time they have suffered back-to-back bilateral series defeats in the format since 2019—and an underwhelming start to Shreyas Iyer's captaincy.
Shreyas Iyer wages lone battle
India endured another disappointing outing with the bat, posting a below-par 158/7 after being asked to bat first in the must-win fourth T20I against England at Bristol. The visitors lost wickets at regular intervals as Jofra Archer (2/20) and Josh Tongue (2/36) exploited the extra bounce on offer, while the rest of England's attack kept the scoring in check. Openers Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma all departed cheaply, leaving India reeling at 48/3.
