The odd loss in the final ODI notwithstanding, India are expected to hold an edge as the visitors seek to bring the curtains down on what has been a mixed tour, with a victory in the only T20 international against England here on Sunday.
Having suffered a 1-3 defeat in the Test series, the Indians found their bearings in the one-dayers, clinching the five-match series 3-1 despite losing Friday’s inconsequential final game by 41 runs at Leeds.
England, on the other hand, will be led by Eoin Morgan as their regular T20 captain Stuart Broad was unavailable due to a knee injury.
