Team India will take the field one final time in the ongoing T20I series, hoping to salvage some pride in Southampton. The situation has gone drastically wrong for the visitors, who continue to struggle after suffering four defeats in the last five games they played.

India must address many variables, especially given the major furor over the continuous experiments conducted to find the right XI. One of Team India's perennial problems in the ongoing series has been the top-order.

England, on the contrary, has found the right set to torment the visitors and continues to move forward with it. They have a golden chance to make it big if they can inflict a 4-0 shellacking upon the visitors. With that said, India, despite the hard times, is not a team that would go silently into the night.

Venue Watch:

The surface at Ageas Bowl is a flat batting track that allows batters to make merry. Apart from new ball movement, the rest of the innings will stay true to batters. The bounce is decent and the carry is good which would make life a lot easier for the batting sides. With the firepower both sides bring, one can expect this to be a high-scoring battle.
