For the fourth time, they are going to chase.
It’s 47m straight on one side. Batsmen will be difficult to stop.
Out of 14 completed games so far, India have won 10, with the hosts claiming four.
Two of India’s wins are in the Super Over – during the 2020 series. India won all five T20I matches on that tour. They can do it again. However, it may be noted that the ICC doesn’t count Super Over wins as outright results. Irrespective of who wins the Super Over, it’s considered a tie.

“I always had the power game. Initially, what I used to do at No.3 – where I have scored two centuries — I wanted to set the momentum for the batters after me. Now, when I bat at No.5 and No.6, I want to take the game deep. If the ball is there to hit, I hit, but initially, I take time, focusing on singles, doubles and piercing the gaps. I tell the player at the other end to go all out. Now I have played quite a few matches for India, so I tell young players to hit. When we are in that phase of real pressure towards the very end, then I take the responsibility to score fast and help the team win.”
