India Vs England Hourly Weather Forecast, 5th T20I: Will It Rain Today In The Final Match?

India will be desperate to halt their shocking and historic slump in the shortest format of the game as they take on England in the 5th and final T20I of the series in the Ageas Bowl, Southampton on Saturday, July 11.

The twin tour of Ireland and England was the Indian team's first assignment in the T20I format after the consecutive World Cup victory four months ago, followed by three ODIs. There was a sense of excitement among fans to witness the team back together in the format they have excelled in over recent years, and the debut of the exciting teen sensation, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.

However, all has spiraled downwards for the Indian team, as they have been on a losing spree since their first match against Ireland, losing five matches in a row. It was the first time that the Indian team have lost this many games consecutively, making it one of the many unwanted firsts they have racked up in the twin tours.

India lost for the first time to Ireland in any format and also tasted defeat from England in a multi-match bilateral series for the first time in history. Some of the other unwanted firsts were suffering their heaviest T20I defeat (125-run loss against England in the 4th T20I) and their heaviest series loss in this format.

Also, if India lose the final T20I against England, they'll also lose their top spot in the ICC T20I rankings. Apart from the dismal performance, the visitors have also been hit by injuries as Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy will be unavailable for the final match due to injuries. This will add to the woes of Shreyas Iyer, who has already looked short of ideas in terms of bowling changes at crucial junctures, costing his team dearly.
