India vs England 5th T20I Preview: India, England Face Off In Series Decider In Ahmedabad

India vs England: Having outsmarted England in challenging conditions, a confident India will back themselves to win the series-decider in Ahmedabad on Saturday

Having outsmarted England in challenging conditions, a confident India will back themselves to win the series-decider in Ahmedabad on Saturday and take another firm step towards finalising their core for the T20 World Cup. India, who went into the series with a fresh and fearless approach in the shortest format, find themselves well-placed in their preparations for the mega event at home later this year, irrespective of what happens in the fifth game. The Virat Kohli-led side, which did not have the depth earlier to attack in all situations, finds itself full of 'x-factor' with the emergence of Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav, whose willow bludgeoned the England bowlers, making it a dream debut on Friday.  His innings at number three was pure delight and left even the likes of Kohli "stunned", reinforcing the role of IPL in providing polished talent to the national team.  It was not a surprise that Suryakumar found a place in the squad for the upcoming ODI series.
