Mumbai: With the series already secured, India will aim to address their batting concerns against an England team seeking revenge after a contentious concussion substitute decision in the fourth T20I at Pune.

While the series is already in India's favor (3-1), both teams will want to finish on a high note in Sunday's match in Mumbai.

The hosts will hope that struggling skipper Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson find their form and contribute some runs in what is otherwise an inconsequential match. England, on the other hand, arrive in Mumbai with a sense of injustice after the controversial concussion substitute incident in Pune during the crucial fourth match.

India's 15-run win in the fourth T20I at Pune on Friday gave them an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series, but also left England frustrated over the concussion replacement, which they felt was unfair. Adding insult to injury, the substitute player, Harshit Rana, played a vital role in India's victory, taking three wickets with his pace bowling.

Rana replaced all-rounder Shivam Dube after he was hit on the head while batting. Rana's 3/33 in his debut T20I derailed England's chase.

The choice of replacement, approved by ICC match referee Javagal Srinath at halftime, drew complaints from England, as India had a more like-for-like replacement in Ramandeep Singh available.

England captain Jos Buttler recalled thinking "who's Harshit on for?" as he walked out to bat. However, his team also succumbed to pressure and squandered a good start on a flat MCA Stadium pitch, ultimately conceding the series.

England were 65/1 in the seventh over, chasing 182, but lost wickets in clusters to Indian spinners Varun Chakravarthy (2/28) and Ravi Bishnoi (3/28). Chakravarthy now has 12 wickets in the series.

Despite winning the series, India's concerns remain: the poor form of Samson and Suryakumar.

Samson, who missed the Vijay Hazare Trophy for Kerala, came into the series lacking match practice and has struggled against the pace of Mark Wood and Jofra Archer. With only 35 runs in four matches, Samson's performance has been disappointing, but India is unlikely to change their opening combination, given their emphasis on an all-out approach in T20 cricket.

World number four Suryakumar has not scored a significant innings since his 75 against Bangladesh eight matches ago. The Indian captain has two ducks and scores of 12 and 14 in this series, despite winning the toss frequently. 'Sky' will be eager to overcome his poor run of form at his home ground, the Wankhede Stadium, a venue that has been instrumental in his rise as a T20 specialist.

Rinku Singh's 30 on Friday alleviated concerns about the left-hander, whose form and fitness were questioned before the fourth match.

Hardik Pandya and Dube's fifties powered India's innings in the fourth T20I, covering for the batters' failures. Another batting-friendly pitch here will give the Indians one last chance to improve their batting performance in the shortest format.

With numerous bowling options, India could rest both frontline pacers, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Shami, during the series. Sunday's match could be an opportunity to assess Shami's readiness after a long injury layoff.

For England, the series has been more misses than hits, and they have generally been outplayed.

Harry Brook finally scored a big knock on Friday, but he continues to struggle against spin, particularly Chakravarthy. Young players like Jacob Bethell and Jamie Smith have also struggled on their first tour of India.
