What are the odds?

Dafabet odds will appear here when available.

Who’s involved?

India are without Jasprit Bumrah for the T20 series while Ravindra Jadeja is also absent. Rohit Sharma returned for the third T20 after missing the first two but joined KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan in struggling against England's powerplay bowlers. Pause for thought for Virat Kohli at the top of the order.

England, meanwhile, are virtually full-strength. Mark Wood successfully returned from injury (bruised heel) for the third T20I, taking three wickets, and Eoin Morgan is unlikely to change his winning formula for the fourth T20I.

India squad: Virat Kohli (C), Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan, Yuzvendra Chahal, Varun Chakravarthy, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Rahul Tewatia, T Natarajan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar, Navdeep Saini, Shardul Thakur

England squad: Eoin Morgan (C), Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Jonathan Bairstow, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Tom Curran, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Reece Topley, Mark Wood

Reserves: Jake Ball, Matt Parkinson

Will fans be permitted?

No. Fans were in attendance for the first two matches, with 67,200 watching England’s victory on March 12.  However, due to a spike in Covid-19 cases, the remaining matches will be played behind closed doors.
