England's dominant display seals series sweep over India

The fourth T20 International at Bristol on July 10 saw England dominate India, securing a nine‑wicket win that completed a 3‑0 series sweep. India's total of 158/7 was built on Shreyas Iyer's 80‑run innings, but the rest of the line‑up collapsed early.

Contributions from Vaibhav Suri (15), Abhishek Sharma (16), Ishant Kishan (4), Shivam Dubey (22), Tilak Verma (11), Washington Sundar (5) and Akshar Patel (1) were insufficient to challenge England's bowlers.

England's chase was marked by a powerful partnership between Phil Salt, who scored an unbeaten 59 off 42 balls, and Harry Brook, who unleashed a destructive 79 off 35 deliveries, smacking eight fours and four sixes. The target of 159 was achieved with only one wicket falling, and the innings wrapped up in 13.5 overs.

This triumph represents England’s first bilateral T20 series win over India, ending a pattern where India had previously won five of six series and drawn one.
