Shreyas Iyer's unbeaten 80 helped India post a modest 158/7 after a top-order collapse.
England comfortably chased the target, powered by half-centuries from Phil Salt and Harry Brook.
The dominant victory secures the series for England, leaving India disappointed in the fourth T20I
In the fourth T20I of the 2026 series held at the County Ground in Bristol, India faced a challenging encounter as they fought to keep their series hopes alive. After opting to bat first, the Indian side experienced early tremors, stumbling to 48 for 3 by the seventh over.
Shreyas Iyer emerged as the lone warrior for the visitors, playing a masterclass innings to rescue the team. Scoring an unbeaten 80 off just 49 balls, Iyer’s calculated aggression—laced with four boundaries and five towering sixes—steered India to a respectable total of 158 for 7 in their allotted 20 overs.
Supporting contributions were sparse, with Shivam Dube (22 off 23) providing the only other notable resistance. For England, the bowling attack remained disciplined and penetrative, led by Jofra Archer, who claimed impressive figures of 2 for 20, and Josh Tongue, who also returned 2 for 36.
The chase quickly turned into a one-sided affair as England’s top order made light work of the 159-run target. Riding on a steady 42-ball 59 from Phil Salt and a blistering 35-ball 80 from Harry Brook, England cruised through the middle overs, comfortably dismantling the Indian bowling attack to maintain their dominance in the series. With this result, England have taken an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series with one game remaining. The defeat left India staring at another disappointment, as the visitors failed to defend the modest total set by their star batsman.
