On a variable track, England's batting first managed 171 runs on the board with contributions from Ben Duckett, and Liam Livingstone who scored 51 and 43, respectively. For India, Varun Chakaravarthy claimed his second-ever five-wicket haul in T20Is, while Hardik Pandya picked two wickets. In reply, India's chase went nowhere, with all batters getting starts, and failing to convert them into big scores. All-rounder Hardik Pandya kept India in the hunt, scoring a 35-ball 40, but that too went in vain, as Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer, and Brydon Carse starred for the visitors, claiming seven wickets between them.
This sets up the T20I very well. Either team's win or loss will decide whether the IND vs. ENG 5th T20I 2025 becomes a knockout or a dead rubber.

IND vs ENG 4th T20I 2025 Key Battles
Ben Duckett came into form, and struck a match-winning 51 in the third T20I, overcoming the Mohammed Shami threat. Shami looked out of colour, and the England batter pounced on the veteran in the powerplay. Shami will want to make a comeback at Pune after a dull showing in Rajkot. Hardik Pandya also found himself in the groove with the bat and struck a solid 40, which almost took India past the finish line. Jamie Overton, who excelled for England, started India's downfall by clinching Pandya's wicket and will hope to repeat the same.
