Sun Feb 02 13:50:00 UTC 2025: ## India Set to Clinch T20 Series Victory Against England in Mumbai Finale

**Mumbai, India** – India will face England in the final T20I of their five-match series on February 2nd at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Having secured a commanding 3-1 lead after their win in Pune, India aims to complete a series sweep. However, Jos Buttler’s England side will be determined to salvage some pride.

Shivam Dube, who suffered a head injury in Pune and missed fielding duties despite scoring a crucial 53 runs and winning Player of the Match, is likely to be rested for the Mumbai match. His replacement, Harshit Rana, impressed on his debut and is expected to retain his place in the playing XI. Ramandeep Singh, called up as cover for Rinku Singh, also stands a good chance of featuring.

With the series already won, India may make several changes to its playing eleven. Given the Wankhede Stadium’s reputation for high-scoring matches, a potential XI could feature two fast bowlers and two spinners, potentially omitting Ravi Bishnoi. Mohammed Shami, returning to international cricket after 436 days, could also earn another opportunity, potentially replacing Arshdeep Singh.

A possible playing XI for India’s final match is: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Hardik Pandya, Ramandeep Singh, Axar Patel, Rinku Singh, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, and Varun Chakravarthy. Harshit Rana’s impressive debut is noteworthy.
