India will take on England in the 4th T20I on Thursday, July 09 at 10 P.M. (IST) at the County Ground, Bristol.
Forecasts suggest an uninterrupted contest with temperatures expected to hover from 33°C to 26°C.
It will be a must win contest for India if they want to stay alive in the series.
India's young side finds itself with no margin for error as it takes on England in the fourth T20I of the five-match series at the County Ground, Bristol, on Thursday, July 9.
After the opening game was washed out, England have dominated the series, winning the second T20I in Manchester before inflicting India's biggest-ever defeat in T20I history at Trent Bridge, where the visitors were bowled out for just 76 and lost by 125 runs.
Trailing 2-0, Shreyas Iyer's men must win in Bristol to keep the series alive, with another defeat handing England the trophy.
All eyes will once again be on the Indian batting unit, which crumbled spectacularly in Nottingham. Youngsters such as Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Ishan Kishan will need to shoulder greater responsibility, while skipper Shreyas Iyer will be under pressure to deliver both tactically and with the bat.
India are also expected to reassess their bowling combination after failing to contain England's explosive batting lineup in the previous encounter.
England, meanwhile, head into Bristol brimming with confidence after back-to-back comprehensive victories. The hosts are unlikely to make many changes, with Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Jofra Archer, and Josh Tongue all playing pivotal roles in the emphatic win at Trent Bridge.
Harry Brook's side now has the opportunity to seal the series in front of its home crowd.
The County Ground, Bristol, has historically favoured batters, with short square boundaries and a quick outfield often resulting in high-scoring contests.
If the weather stays clear, fans can expect another run-filled encounter, although India will hope their bowlers can finally strike the right balance and avoid another batting collapse to keep the series alive.
