Delhi: The last match of the five-match T20 series between India and England will be held on Saturday, July 11. This match will be played at The Rose Bowl Cricket Ground in Southampton, where the pitch proves to be helpful for the batsmen in the beginning, while as the match progresses, the bowlers also start dominating.

How will the pitch of The Rose Bowl Cricket Ground in Southampton be?

The pitch of The Rose Bowl is considered very good for the batsmen in the beginning.

The new ball has good bounce and speed, due to which the batsmen can easily score runs. However, as the match progresses, the pitch starts slowing down and the ball starts coming to a stop.

This makes it difficult to play big shots and helps the spinners as well as the slow bowlers. If the weather is cloudy, the fast bowlers can also get swing and seam movement with the new ball. A score of 170 or more on this ground is generally considered a strong and challenging score.

The teams batting first have dominated

The teams batting first have dominated the field of The Rose Bowl. The team batting first has won 13 out of 18 matches on this ground. At the same time, the chasing team has won only five matches.

England has captured the series

England has captured the series. After the first match was canceled due to rain, England has defeated India badly in three consecutive matches. England is currently leading 3-0 in the series. England had defeated India by four wickets in the second match. After this, in the second match it defeated India by a huge margin of 125 runs.

At the same time, in the fourth match on Thursday, England easily defeated Team India by 9 wickets and won the series.

India got a shock before the 5th T20

The Indian team has suffered a big setback before the fifth T20 against England. The team’s fast bowler Harshit Rana and powerful spinner Varun Chakraborty have been ruled out of the last match due to hamstring injury. However, the team has not announced his replacement. Due to injury, both were not part of the team even in the fourth match.

There may be some changes in the last match of Team India

The performance of the batsmen of the Indian team has not been anything special in the entire series.

In such a situation, India can make some changes in the playing-11 for the last match. Tilak Verma’s performance in the middle-order has been very poor, due to which he may have to go out. In his place, India can include Sanju Samson back in the playing-11. At the same time, Washington Sundar has also not performed well for the Indian team so far. Team India can give a chance to young Suryansh Shedge in his place.

There will be no change in the England team

On one hand, some changes can be seen in the Indian team.
