India vs England 4th T20: Match preview 

Three games down, the five-match T20I series between India and England stands at 2-1 in favour of the visitors making this a must-win game for India if they wish to stay in the competition. After a thumping victory in the Test series, the hosts seem to have run out of steam come the white-ball part of the tour. India's 'happy headache' of having an abundance of choices at the top of the order may have turned into an actual headache after the failure of all three of their usual openers - KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma - in the last three games. 

A bright spot for India in all this will be Virat Kohli, who - as evidenced by his 77* off 46 - has finally found his hands. India's woes continue on down the order with Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and even Hardik Pandya - who can usually be counted upon to smack balls out of the park - failing to impress. Even the bowlers have proven to be expensive for the hosts, with Yuzvendra Chahal and Shardul Thakur going for more than 10 runs an over.

This is in stark contrast to England, whose opening combination of Jason Roy and Jos Buttler has proved fairly stable. After Mark Wood and Jofra Archer's exploits in the series, India will sorely miss Jasprit Bumrah's presence in the squad and hope that the Bhuvneshwar Kumar of old makes a comeback. England's spinners have also outclassed Indian spinners in this series and should retain their spots for this game.
