Bristol |
The Indian cricket team has faced a crushing 9-wicket defeat against England in the fourth T20 match. With this loss at the County Ground in Bristol, India has now lost its second consecutive T20 series. In this five-match T20 series, England has now taken an unassailable 3-0 lead.

In response, the England team achieved the target with great ease. The host team scored 159 runs for the loss of just one wicket in only 13.5 overs to win the match. England registered this victory with 37 balls to spare.

England Creates History
With this victory, England has created a new history against India. England has defeated India for the first time in a bilateral T20 series of two or more matches.
Previously, a total of 6 bilateral series were played between the two teams, of which the Indian team had won 5, while one series ended in a draw. Meanwhile, England recorded its joint second-biggest win in terms of wickets while chasing a target of over 150 runs.
