India will take on England in the 5th T20I match on 20th March. From the last T20I, it is clear that it is not about winning the toss and win the match.

This win can be a huge phycological boost for both the teams before the T20 World Cup which will happen in India only this year. England is at the top of the ranking in the ICC points table and is considered as one of the best T20 sides and they would love to continue that reputation.
On the other hand, India is the 2nd topmost team in the ICC points table and they are very hard to beat at their home. It will be an interesting contest between bat and bowl.
