England has a chance to become the world's No. 1 team by beating India 4-0, leaving a lot at stake for Team India. Shreyas Iyer's team not only has to break their losing streak but also save their No. 1 ranking. Team India's troubles in the T20I series against England are far from over. After losing the series, India's top spot in the ICC T20 rankings is now in danger. In the fourth T20I in Bristol, England handed India a crushing 9-wicket defeat, taking an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series (with one match ending in no result). Now, England's eyes are on the final match in Southampton on July 11. An England victory will officially dethrone India. The Indian team has been going through a rough patch, having already suffered a 0-2 series defeat to Ireland shortly after their T20 World Cup win. In Bristol, India managed 158/7, with Captain Shreyas Iyer playing a lone hand of 80 not out off 49 balls. However, England chased the target down easily with 37 balls to spare, thanks to an unbeaten 146-run partnership between captain Harry Brook (79*) and Phil Salt (59*). Brook stated post-match that securing a 4-0 win and claiming the world No. 1 ranking is their ultimate goal. After dominating world cricket just months ago, a single defeat could now strip Team India of its crown.
