Predicting India’s Playing XI for their 5th T20I against England

The fifth T20I game between India and England will be played on February 2 at the Wankhede Stadium, in Mumbai. India have outshone the English players in the series, winning it by 3-1. While the last game doesn’t hold much importance, England will still try to beat the home team to make it 3-2.

It was a marvellous performance by the Indian players, especially the bowlers. Harshit Rana came out ofthe  syllabus for England as he claimed three wickets and conceded 33 runs. He replaced Shivam Dube as his concussion substitute. This decision sparked a lot of controversies as to whether or not he should have been allowed or not. Nevertheless, the decision went into India’s favour and they won the game.

Here’s the predicted XI of India against England:

Top Order

Sanju Samson Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma

Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, and Tilak Varma will be India’s top-order batters. They haven’t done well in the series, but the expectations will be the same for the upcoming game. Varma and Abhishek have had a good time so far, helping the team get to a good score. Abhishek slammed a half-century in the previous game, while Varma did in the second, so their form isn’t a concern for the team.

Middle Order

Suryakumar Yadav Hardik Pandya Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh

Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, and Rinku Singh will be the middle-order batters. The players have good experience, and when thrown under pressure, have shown courage and performed really well for the team. Thus, the team will be dependent on them in the last game as well.
