IND vs ENG 5th T20I, Approaching Milestones and Records: The five-match T20I series between India cricket team and England cricket team has turned towards the hosts. They have won three of the four games to take a 3-1 unassailable lead with one match left to play. The fifth clash will take place on Sunday evening at 7 PM at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
This Wankhede cricket match will be crucial for both teams. Though India have won the series, a win here will set the tone for the coming ODI series. That is why Jos Buttler and his men will also look to gain a slight advantage after winning the final T20I. India have used the home conditions to full effect so far.
Spinners have troubled the English batters a lot in the series, and that will be the plan on Sunday as well. But Wankhede Stadium is known for high-scoring games, and we might see a thriller between two strong batting lineups. Whatever the result will be, there are some records and milestones on the line. Below, we will talk about big records and milestones which are lined up and can be achieved in the fifth IND vs ENG T20I in Mumbai.
