The fourth T20I will be played at Old Trafford, Manchester, on July 9.
England pulled off a remarkable heist at The Oval, edging out India by five runs in a last-ball thriller to stay alive in the T20I series. Despite a dramatic batting collapse and several fielding errors, Tammy Beaumont’s side found just enough resolve to clinch a nervy win, leaving the five-match series poised at 2-1 in India’s favour.
England’s epic collapse
England’s innings had two distinct halves. The first was commanding. Sophia Dunkley (75) and Danni Wyatt-Hodge (66) put on a dazzling 137-run stand, dominating India’s bowlers and setting up a platform for a score near 190. But the second half was chaos. From 137/0 in the 16th over, England folded to 171/9 in a collapse that defied logic—nine wickets fell for just 31 runs in 25 balls.
India’s bowlers roared back into the contest. Deepti Sharma (3/27), Arundhati Reddy (3/32), and youngster N. Shree Charani (2/43) tore through the middle and lower order with sharp spells, exposing England’s vulnerability under pressure.
