India clinched the crucial fourth T20I over England, sweeping home by six wickets to surge into a commanding 3-1 lead in the five-match T20I series. What began as England’s fightback has now been completely reversed with India securing the series with a game still to be played. With the final match on the horizon, India will aim to close out the series with another dominant win, while England must rally to save in what has become a one-sided battle.

India delivered a dominant performance in the 4th T20I to extend their lead and seize control. England, opting to bat first, were restricted to a modest 126/7, with Indian spinners Radha Yadav and Shree Charani sharing the spotlight.
During the chase, aggressive opening from Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana set the tone with a 56-run powerplay stand. Although England slowed the tempo in the middle overs, a composed effort by Harmanpreet Kaur and an unbeaten 24 from Jemimah Rodrigues sealed the win with 18 balls to spare.
With this 6-wicket victory, India not only claimed the crucial fourth game but also clinched the series 3-1, marking their first-ever T20I series win over England.

Historically, England have dominated T20Is against India, winning 23 of 34 meetings. India, with 11 victories, have typically trailed behind. But the current five-match series has seen a dramatic shift.
India roared out of the gates with emphatic victories in the first two T20Is, a 97‑run thrashing in the opener followed by a composed 24‑run triumph staking early control. England responded with grit in the third game, clinching a nerve‑jangler by just 5 runs to make it 2-1 and regain some momentum.
The fourth T20I at Old Trafford proved to be India’s crowning moment. Opting to bowl first, India reduced England to a modest 126/7, courtesy of pressure-building spin and sharp fielding and sealing a 6‑wicket win with 18 balls to spare. That dominant performance not only won the match but also clinched the series for India 3-1, marking their first-ever T20I series victory on English soil.
