IND Vs ENG, 5th T20I: Sunrisers Hyderabad opener Abhishek Sharma etches his name in the history books by scoring a record-breaking fifty against England in the 5th T20I at the Wankhede Stadium.
The stylish left-handed batsman has accomplished an astonishing feat by smashing India’s 2nd fastest T20I fifty, with him taking just 17 balls to reac the mark.
Watch the highlights here:
On The Charge
Abhishek Sharma is on the move and brings up his fifty
The Indian batter has truly made his mentor, Yuvraj Singh, proud today, as the latter holds the record for the fastest T20I fifty by an Indian. The legendary all-rounder achieved the feat against the same opposition at the T20 World Cup 2007 back in September 2007, where he smashed Stuart Broad for those iconic 6 sixes off an over, and scored his fifty in just 12 balls.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) opener, Jason Roy, lit up the Wankhede Stadium with a stunning fifty in the 5th T20I against England. Roy’s explosive innings set the tone for the rest of the match, as he smashed boundaries all around the ground and showcased his immense talent with the bat.
The English opener’s fifty came off just 30 balls, as he dismantled the England bowlers with ease. His aggressive approach put the opposition on the back foot from the very beginning, and he continued to pile on the runs with his aggressive stroke play.
Roy’s innings was a display of pure class and power, as he effortlessly found the gaps and sent the ball flying to all parts of the ground. His ability to accelerate the run rate and keep the scoreboard ticking over was crucial for SRH, as they posted a competitive total for England to chase.
Overall, it was a masterful display of batting from Jason Roy, and his fifty was a testament to his skill and talent as a top-order batsman. SRH will be hoping that he can continue his good form in the upcoming matches and lead them to victory in the T20I series.

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma took the England bowlers on a merry ride around the Wankhede Stadium as India put up a whopping 95 runs in the powerplay of the fifth T20I.

England captain Jos Buttler won the toss for a second consecutive time and has chosen to bowl first in the fifth and final IND vs ENG T20I at the Wankhede Stadium. India have chosen to bring back Mohammed Shami for Arshdeep Singh and Shivam Dube remains in the side despite being concussed after his innings in the fourth T20I. Harshit Rana being brought on as concussion substitute for him resulted in quite a bit of controversy, with Buttler left fuming at the end of the match. He took a jab at the incident at the toss in Mumbai as well, calling England’s designated substitutes “impact subs”.
Both sides have fought tooth and nail throughout this series and so it is a bit of a disappointment that it has been decided already before the last match. However, England were a wounded side at the end of the epic fourth T20I and one can expect them to give India a big shock if the hosts let their guards down.
At the same time, one can expect a host of changes for India with this being the last T20I before they go on a run of ODI matches that includes the Champions Trophy. Harshit Rana was a standout in Pune and it won’t be much of a surprise if he gets a starting spot. Shivam Dube was also sensational and he is set to be a shoo-in if he is fit.
India fought their way out of multiple holes to win the fourth T20I under extraordinary circumstances. They also had some luck going their way, with the officials seemingly deeming Rana to be a like-for-like replacement as a concussion substitute for Dube, much to the fury of England captain Jos Buttler. However, the fact remains that India won the match despite being 12/3 in the second over and 79/5 in the 11th.
Pandya and Dube put up a partnership of 87 runs off just 45 balls for the sixth wicket. The former eventually fell on 53 off 34 balls while Dube finished unbeaten on 50 off 30 balls. The big fast-bowling all-rounders helped India avoid collapsing for an embarassing total and get to a score of 181/9, the highest by any team in this series thus far.
But England seemed to have been put in cruise mode once again by their openers Ben Duckett and Phil Salt, who blasted an opening partnership of 62 runs in the powerplay before the former fell to Ravi Bishnoi off the last ball of the sixth over. This was followed by Axar dismissing Salt and Bishnoi getting the big wicket of Jos Buttler. England are chasing a target of 182.
England then hit back through Harry Brook, who smashed his way to a half-century in just 25 balls before falling trying one shot too many against the irresistible Varun Chakravarthy. England then had one final hurrah in the form of Jamie Overton but his tactic of trying to farm strike despite having Adil Rashid at the other end did them no favours.
Here are some pointers to IND vs ENG 5th T20I:
– Abhishek Sharma raised his half-century in just 17 balls
– England won the toss and chose to bowl first
– India have rested Arshdeep Singh again for Mohammed Shami
– Shivam Dube finds a place in the squad despite being concussed in the fourth T20I
– India have already confirmed a series-win for themselves

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: It is Tilak, not Abhishek but any wicket is good for England at this stage. The partnership ends on 115 off 43 balls. Carse digs it in short, Tilak tries to ramp it with a raised bat over his head. He can only get an edge and Phil Salt takes the catch.

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: India cross 100 in 7 overs!
IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: The carnage continues. Adil Rashid comes in, he has been almost impossible to score against in this series but doesn’t matter. Two singles off the first two balls and then Abhishek smashes the third over long on. That brings up India’s 100 off the third ball of the seventh over. Abhishek charges at the next ball, lofts it straight back again and that’s another six. Singles off the next two balls, Abhishek on 72 off 25 balls, Tilak on 21 off 10 balls.
India 111/1 in 7 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Now Tilak joins the party! India 95/1 in the powerplay!
IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: What can England do here? Nothing much at the moment. Liam Livingstone came in for the last over of the powerplay, starts with a length delivery that straightens after pitching, Abhishek sends it through cover point for a four. Cannot time the hit down the ground next ball and Abhishek takes a single. The fourth ball is short and straight Varma puunches it through cover for a four. Then he reverse sweeps Livingstone past short third for another four. Two leg byes of the last ball, Varma on 19 off eight, Abhishek on 58 off 21 balls.
Feb 2, 2025 7:28 PM IST
IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: BACK TO BACK SIXES AND FIFTY FOR ABHISHEK!
IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Abhishek Sharma what are you doing to this cricket match! This is getting into Chris Gayle territory. Jamie Overton comes in for the fifth over, his first ball is too full and Abhishek hits it back over the bowler’s head for six. Then a full toss and Abhishek elegantly hits it back over the bowler’s head for another six. That’s fifty in 17 balls and the second highest ever in T20Is.
Feb 2, 2025 7:25 PM IST
IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: NOW 16 OFF THE 4TH! ABHISHEK TAKES IND PAST 50 IN 4 OVERS
IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: This is just an exhibition from Abhishek Sharma! Tilak gets off strike first ball of that over from Wood. Then Abhishek pulls the second past midwicket for a four. The next is sent down the ground with an immaculate on-drive, he can do it all this Abhishek Sharma. He swings at the next one and misses and then he nails that same swing next ball, sends it over point for another six. Abhishek takes a single to stay on strike last ball. Wowza!
India 55/1 in 4 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: 18 runs in the 3rd! Lift-off for Abhishek
IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: This is astonishing batting from the young opener. He chargers the second ball of that over and smashes Archer through extra cover for four. The next ball is a bumper and a dot, Abhishek picks two off the fourth. The fifth ball is met with a perfectly timed cut over point for a six and the next is almost identical, only better, for another six. Abhishek on 23 off 10 at the end of that over.
India 39/1 in 3 overs

IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: OUT! Samson falls to Wood!
IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Well it’s the same old story at the end of it all. Wood bowls this into Samson’s hips from wider of the crease, the latter swivels and pulls straight into the hands of backward square leg. Nope, it is not an action replay, this really is a fresh dismissal.
Samson c Archer b Wood 16 (7)
India 21/1 in 2 overs
Feb 2, 2025 7:07 PM IST
IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: 16 runs off the first over!
IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Samson needed some treatment on his finger off the third ball of that over and then finished it with a six and a four. The third ball moved into him from a length and rapped Samson on the bottom hand. He takes the gloves off and the physio comes out. Once he is good to go, there is an LBW appeal next ball which England choose to not review.
Feb 2, 2025 7:02 PM IST
IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: SIX! SAMSON SMASHES THE FIRST BALL OF THE MATCH!
IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Well then how about that for a start! It was a length delivery, slightly wide outside off stump and Samson moves all the way across and pulls it emphatically over square leg for a first-ball six!
Feb 2, 2025 7:00 PM IST
IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Samson and Abhishek walk out for India…
IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: All right can Sanju Samson get a big one today. Or even a good one? So far in this series, they have been some pretty poor ones. Abhishek Sharma at the other end. Jofra Archer is bowling. Short leg and two slips in place, it has been the exact same field to him throughout this series.
Feb 2, 2025 6:51 PM IST
IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: Hardik Pandya back at the Wankhede
IND vs ENG LIVE SCORE, 5th T20I: The last time Hardik Pandya was at the Wankhede, he was being cheered but the last time he was actually playing cricket here, he was being booed left right and centre. Today all he got were cheers as he did his lap around the ground and it seems safe to predict that the Mumbai Indians captain is going to get a rousing reception.

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Jos Buttler announces “4 Impact Subs”
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Some cheek there from the England captain and it seems Ravi Shastri didn’t really pick that up. “We have got one change, Mark Wood comes in and our four impact subs are Rehan Ahmed, Saqib Mahmood, Jamie Smith and Gus Atkinson.” Just before that Shastri had a jibe at Srinath having a lot to do nowadays as match referee. Battle of words and smiles out there.

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Suryakumar Yadav is ready for the toss and he can be seen having a longish chat with match referee Javagal Srinath. Obviously the names Harshit Rana and Shivam Dube have not been mentioned in that chat. Obviously.
Feb 2, 2025 6:30 PM IST
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Pitch report says no dew!
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Nick Knight and Murali Kartik say that there is a chance there will be very little effect of dew today. Very little grass which means there could be a lot of seam movement. Win the toss and bowl first, says Knight.
Feb 2, 2025 6:20 PM IST
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Gus Atkinson could be given a go today
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Jofra Archer was seen sending in some light spinners and Mark Wood hasn’t been warming up full tilt either. However, Gus Atkinson has been doing just that.
Feb 2, 2025 6:09 PM IST
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: India’s spinners ruling the roost
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: England really have had no meaningful way of getting the past the Indian spinners in this series. They have taken a combined 24 wickets in this series, the most they ever have in a bilateral series.

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: T20 cricket at the Wankhede Stadium
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Largely placid tracks with some fairly good bounce for the seamers, that is what one normally gets to see at the Wankhede Stadium. Eight T20Is have been played here thus far, of which three was as a neutral venue during the 2016 T20 World Cup. India have hosted five T20Is and won four of them. The only team to beat them? England, on December 22, 2012.
Feb 2, 2025 5:32 PM IST
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Samson should be “allowed failures”, says Manjrekar
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Sanjay Manjrekar has said that players as mercurial as Sanju Samson should be allowed to have a lot of failures as when they do strike, they take the game away from the opposition. “And you see with Sanju Samson, when he plays well, he gets an incredible hundred and puts your team in a winning position. So, such people are allowed failures and maybe a long patch of failures as well because that is the nature of these as a T20 cricketer, where you cannot play yourself, where you have to keep taking those risks that they take, and hopefully there is one innings that just propels him back into form,” said Manjrekar on ESPNCricinfo.
“So, with Samson, I think you should just make sure that he gets as many innings as possible purely because when he gets into form and plays well, he makes it all worth it. If that was another guy who was failing in this fashion and when he got into form just got you 40 or 50, then maybe you would offer him a shorter rope. But I will have a lot of patience with this current version of Sanju Samson,” he added.
Feb 2, 2025 5:20 PM IST
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Can Samson and SKY fire?
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav were sharing a behemoth of a partnership and destroying the Bangladesh bowling attack not too long ago. However, that has ended up being the last time SKY scored more than 50 runs in an innings. Samson went on to score two more centuries in the next four innings but in this series, he has scores of 26, 5, 3 and 1.
Feb 2, 2025 5:11 PM IST
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Why Shami didn’t play much in this series
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Shami played just one match in this series and there were a lot of raised eyebrows when he was not selected in the first T20I. However, it was all part of the plan. The priority was to get Shami warming up before matches and work closely with the team physios in the nets.
Feb 2, 2025 5:01 PM IST
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Morne Morkel on Shami potentially playing today
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Morne Morkel was all praise for how Mohammed Shami is shaping up in this series. “Shami has been bowling really well. You know, catching to him at warm-ups, (the ball) is really hitting the glove hard. So, (we’re) very happy with how he’s coming along. You know, he’s probably going to get an opportunity in the next game. We’ll see how things go. But, yeah, (we’re) excited to have him back in the group,” Morkel said.
Feb 2, 2025 4:51 PM IST
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Could Shami return to the XI?
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Mohammed Shami got one match in this series and there is a chance that the Indian management could want him to get one more before the run of ODI matches. The obvious option seems to be to keep Arshdeep Singh out again but India might also consider getting an extra seamer considering the conditions at the Wankhede. It will be interesting to see which spinner makes way in that case.
Feb 2, 2025 4:36 PM IST
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Saqib Mahmood’s early havoc in Pune
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Considering the way that match went, Saqib Mahmood’s unbelievable first over of this tour might seem like a distant memory for England. But regardless of the result, that certainly was a moment rarely seen in a T20 match – a triple wicket maiden. It started with Sanju Samson’s wicket and that was followed by Tilak Varma going the very next ball. Suryakumar Yadav managed to keep Mahmood from getting a hat-trick but he couldn only survive three more deliveries. India were thus 12/3 at the end of the second over and they went and won a cricket match from that position.
Feb 2, 2025 4:30 PM IST
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Jofra Archer could be rested…
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Brendon McCullum had made it clear that the England team management has moved beyond the stage of managing Jofra Archer’s workload, signalling a possible retunr to full fitness at long last for the pace spearhead. Despite this, there is a good chance that he could be rested today as he has bowled all 16 of his available overs thus far in this series.
Feb 2, 2025 4:24 PM IST
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Kevin Pietersen wants Javagal Srinath to ‘hold his hand up’ and admit his mistake
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Former England captain Kevin Pietersen was not happy at all with Rana being brought on as a concussion sub for Dube. He stated that match referee Javagal Srinath should accept his mistake in allowing this to happen. “Concussion sub is quite the topic everywhere here atm and my view is…it was NEVER a like for like replacement and the match referee should just hold his hand up and say he got that one wrong. End of event for good and we move on to another great clash this evening,” he tweeted.
Feb 2, 2025 4:22 PM IST
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Not a great time to be an Indian captain
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: How about this for a stat from ESPNCricinfo. India’s captains across men’s formats this season – Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav – average a combined 13.12, the lowest for any team with a minimum of 20 innings batting in the top seven.
Feb 2, 2025 4:05 PM IST
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: The weather in Mumbai
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: It is comparatively cooler in Mumbai at the moment, which means that you sweat less. Dew is expected to play a role. In the recent Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, teams chasing won eight times in 14 matches. The average score in the competition at the venue was 145. However, teams batting first have won only three T20Is out of the eight at this venue.
Feb 2, 2025 3:56 PM IST
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: What Buttler said about Rana being Dube’s concussion substitute
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Murali Kartik, as expected, chose not to ask Suryakumar Yadav or Jos Buttler about the concussion substitute, as expected, and so we never got to know the Indian captain’s thoughts on the matter. But Buttler spoke about it in the post-match press-conference. “It is not a like-for-like replacement. We don’t agree with that,” Buttler said after India completed a 15-run win. “Either Shivam Dube has put on about 25mph with the ball or Harshit has really improved his batting. It’s part of the game and we really should have gone on to win the match, but we disagree with the decision.”
Feb 2, 2025 3:50 PM IST
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: ‘…the game was played with an impact player,’ says Ashwin
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: If you think that criticising India or the officials, especially the latter, over the concussion substitute fiasco means you are not supporting India, then think again. There can probably be no bigger supporter of India than the legendary Ravichandran Ashwin and even he had to call this one out. “The game is done. India capture yet another series at home. T20I has been a real juggernaut of a win. What was this game? It was like a replica of the IPL. Supersub was there, and the game was played with an impact player,” Ashwin said on his YouTube channel ‘Ash Ki Baat’.
“The entire discussion is about how Harshit Rana came in as a concussion substitute for Shivam Dube. Did we forget that it was an international match and play an IPL match? I can understand. It has happened in the past. Ravindra Jadeja got concussed in Canberra, and Yuzvendra Chahal came in as a substitute. I don’t understand this. At least previously, Chahal came in for Jadeja, a spinner for a spinner,” he added.
Feb 2, 2025 3:42 PM IST
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Question mark on Shivam Dube
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Amid all the hubbub over Harshit Rana being brought on as a concussion substitute for Shivam Dube it may have gone somewhat unnoticed that the latter did suffer a concussion. There has been no messages from the Indian camp over his availability. In case he can’t play, we could see Ramandeep Singh taking his place. Unless SKY and Gambhir and the rest still think that Rana is a clone of Dube.

India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: Hello and welcome!
India vs England 5th T20I LIVE SCORE: We have had an epic series thus far and it is a pitty that it has already been decided in India’s favour. But who knows? Maybe we will see some utterly astonishing T20 cricket today due to practically nothing riding on this match…

After securing a series-clinching victory on Friday, India take on England in the fifth T20I on Sunday, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The fourth T20I also saw controversy as Harshit Rana was allowed to be Shivam Dube’s concussion substitute and removed Liam Livingstone off his second delivery. Dube has cleared the concussion protocol tests and is allowed to be included in the playing XI. Members from the England camp feel that Rana coming in for Dube wasn’t a like-for-like substitution and was unfair.

The fourth T20I saw Hardik Pandya (53) and Shivam Dube’s (53) half-centuries take India to 181/9 in 20 overs. Meanwhile, Saquib Mahmood struck thrice for the visitors and Jamie Overton took two wickets. Chasing 182 runs, England were bowled out for 166 in 19.4 overs, despite a half-century from Harry Brook (51). Meanwhile for India’s bowling department, Ravi Bishnoi and Rana bagged three dismissals each respectively.
In the fifth T20I, Sanju Samson is once again expected to open with Abhishek Sharma. Samson is in poor batting form and could only muster one run off three balls in the previous fixture. Unlike his opening partner, Abhishek has been in good form and is the highest run-scorer in the ongoing series, with 144 runs at a strike rate of 197.26, and has also clobbered 17 fours and nine sixes.
In the fourth fixture, Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav were dismissed for ducks. Tilak departed in the first ball and skipper Suryakumar faced only four deliveries. They are expected to keep their place, and will bat at no. 3 and no. 4 in the order.
Rinku Singh got a gritty 26-ball 30-run knock in the previous fixture, and also hammered four fours and a maximum. He is expected to retain his place and will bat at no. 5, followed by Dube and Pandya, who were crucial in the previous fixture. Dube was also adjudged as Player of the Match for his quickfire half-century (53 off 34 deliveries).
Axar Patel will be the last batting all-rounder in the batting order, coming after Hardik. He was dismissed for five runs off four balls. Meanwhile, the tailenders will consist of Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakaravarthy.
Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakaravarthy
After missing the last few matches due to a concussion, all-rounder Shivam Dube is set to make his return to the Indian lineup for the fifth T20I against England. Dube’s presence will provide a much-needed boost to the team, especially in the absence of Hardik Pandya who is still recovering from a shoulder injury.
On the other hand, wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson, who has been struggling for form in the series so far, is likely to retain his place in the playing XI. Despite not making significant contributions with the bat, the team management seems to have faith in Samson’s abilities and will give him another opportunity to prove himself.
Here is India’s likely XI for the fifth T20I against England:
With the series currently tied at 2-2, both teams will be looking to put their best foot forward in the final match to clinch the series. It will be interesting to see how the inclusion of Shivam Dube and the persistence with Sanju Samson will impact India’s performance in the crucial encounter.
IND vs ENG Live Score, 5th T20I: India coach reveals who took the final call on concussion substitute
The selection of Harshit Rana as a “concussion sub” in place of Shivam Dube infuriated England captain Jos Buttler, but India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel defended the decision, claiming that match referee Javagal Srinath made the final call after they presented the young pacer’s name.
Head coach Gautam Gambhir skillfully employed the rules to substitute Mumbai all-rounder Rana, who bowls at early 120 clicks, for Dube, who reached a half-century, when Dube was hit by Jamie Overton off the penultimate delivery of the Indian innings.
“As far as I’m aware, Shivam (Dube) obviously took the knock on the head and when he came off the field during the innings break with mild headache symptoms, we took a name forward to the match referee in terms of a suitable substitution.
“From there it’s up to the match referee to make that decision,” Morkel replied when asked about the controversy surrounding Rana.
With a match remaining, the pacer helped India win by 15 runs in Pune on Friday night, capping the T20I series. He took 3/33 on his debut.
“Harshit (Rana) was having dinner, had to get himself ready as quick as possible to get onto the field and bowl and I thought he did an excellent job,” Morkel said.
When questioned about Buttler’s criticism of the replacement for not being like-for-like, Morkel avoided the subject.
“You know, it goes to the powers sort of above me (match referee).
“Match referee, he made the decision, you know, we can only take the name forward and from there it’s out of our hands. We got the green light to go with that and, you know, we gave it an opportunity,” he said.
The bowling unit’s consistency in execution has greatly impressed the former South African pacer, who joined the Indian team management prior to the home season.
“In our planning we do before games, everybody’s contributing in those conversations. But the main thing at the end of the day is to go out and execute,” Morkel said.
“And I think even if we’re under pressure with ball in hand, like tonight, you know, we were under pressure, defending a total there tonight, it was great character shown by this young group,” he said.
England got off to a fast start with 62 runs in Powerplay, but Varun Chakravarthy, Rana, and Ravi Bishnoi demonstrated their skills by defending a total of 181.
“The way we defended tonight, yeah, I’m just very proud of this team. You know, defending a 180 sort of total on a good wicket with a wet outfield is outstanding work.”
India vs England 5th T20I Live Score Update:
In the highly anticipated 5th T20I match between India and England, England captain Jos Buttler has won the toss and elected to field first. This decision will put the Indian batting line-up to the test as they look to set a competitive total.
In a surprising move, Mohammed Shami has been included in the Indian playing XI for this crucial match. Shami’s pace and accuracy will be key in providing early breakthroughs for the Indian team.
Both teams are coming off impressive performances in the series so far, with the series currently tied at 2-2. The winner of this match will take the series and gain momentum going into the upcoming ODI series.

The man, whom authorities have not identified, became the fifth person to die in the New Year’s Eve incident at a Honolulu home, a spokesperson with the Honolulu Police Department confirmed to CBS News Tuesday. He was among six victims recovering at the Arizona Burn Center.
Other victims killed by the fireworks included a 3-year-old boy, Cassius Ramos-Benigno, and three women, Carmelita Benigno, 61, Nelie Ibarra, 58, and Jennifer Van, 23, CBS Honolulu affiliate HNN reported.
Honolulu authorities said someone attending a party lit some aerial fireworks that fell on its side, which shot sparks into other crates containing more fireworks.
Over two dozen people were also injured in the blast, officials said.
The incident prompted a crackdown on illegal fireworks in the state, with Gov. Josh Green proposing $300 tickets for igniting fireworks, as well as decades of prison time if the use of fireworks leads to injury or death.

From late May 2025, Singapore Airlines will launch a fifth weekly non-stop flight to Seattle, hiking capacity by 25% and finally fulfilling a long-awaited pre-COVID plan.
You have to cast your mind back over six years to recall the November 2018 announcement that Singapore Airlines was launching non-stop flights between Changi and “tech town” Seattle, in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.
The route officially debuted in September 2019 with three weekly (then four weekly flights) using Airbus A350 Long Haul aircraft, recording such impressive load factors that the airline quickly moved to increase its frequency to five times weekly from March 2020.
Unfortunately, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic cut those plans short, forcing the route’s complete suspension just six months after its launch, which at the time made it SIA’s shortest-lived passenger route ever (previous record holder Las Vegas had lasted eight months).
Fast forward to today, and Seattle is firmly back on Singapore Airlines’ network, with the carrier finally set to fulfil its long-awaited plan to operate five weekly non-stop flights from 2025 – over five years later than originally envisioned.
SIA’s Seattle route timeline
Here’s a recap of Seattle’s timeline on the Singapore Airlines network.
November 2018
Singapore Airlines announces plans to launch non-stop flights between Singapore and Seattle.
September 2019
The route begins with three weekly non-stop flights using Airbus A350 Long Haul aircraft, quickly increasing to four times weekly operation a month later, achieving strong load factors in excess of 95% in some months.
Late 2019
Singapore Airlines adds a fifth weekly non-stop Seattle flight to its schedule, operating every Monday from March 2020.
March 2020
Service is completely suspended as the COVID-19 pandemic disrupts global travel, making Seattle the airline’s shortest-lived passenger route ever at the time.

2nd December 2021
Flights resume as part of a Singapore – Vancouver – Seattle – Vancouver – Singapore routing, operating four times weekly, leveraging the newly launched Vancouver route, which was reinstated by SIA after an absence of over 12 years.
2nd June 2022
Seattle flights are quickly de-linked from Vancouver, resuming as dedicated non-stop Singapore – Seattle – Singapore services, operating three times weekly.
2nd June 2024
Seattle frequency is hiked to four times weekly. Vancouver flights had been abandoned seven months earlier.
30th May 2025
Seattle service increases to five weekly flights, fulfilling SIA’s original plan from March 2020.
The schedule
Here’s how SIA’s current Seattle flight schedule looks.

Note that this is not the same as SIA’s originally proposed increase to five times weekly operation on the route back in March 2020, which saw additional service on Mondays, instead of Fridays.
All flights on this route will continue to use SIA’s 253-seat three-class Airbus A350 Long Haul aircraft, configured as follows:
42 Business Class (2013 J)
24 Premium Economy Class (2013 PY)
187 Economy Class (2013 Y / 2017 Y)

Singapore Airlines tends to prioritise its A350 Long Haul+ sub-variant on Seattle flights, since they have longer range than older aircraft in the fleet. These benefit from the latest 2017 Economy Class seats, rather than the older 2013 version seen on the carrier’s other A350 aircraft.
Overall, Singapore Airlines will operate 57 flights per week to and from the USA once this frequency increase for the Seattle route comes into effect, based on June 2025 schedules.
Los Angeles: 17/wk
New York: 14/wk
Newark: 7/wk
San Francisco: 14/wk
Seattle: 5/wk
However, this is less than the 61 U.S. flights per week the airline is currently operating, because services to Houston will be axed from late March 2025.

SIA’s Seattle flights are busy
Before the pandemic, Seattle was proving to be a big hit for Singapore Airlines with four times weekly flights recording up to 90% load factors.
Singapore Airlines Seattle Route Performance (Sep 2019 – Mar 2020)
COVID-19 put a stop to that early success of course, as the figures reflect from February 2020 onwards, but the airline must have been buoyed by the demand it was seeing to and from the U.S. “tech town”.
Seattle had already witnessed significant non-stop international flight expansion from other Asian carriers like ANA and Cathay Pacific in recent years, before the pandemic hit.
How has the performance been more recently? Well looking at the first 10 months of 2024, it’s certainly positive.
Singapore Airlines Seattle Route Performance (Jan 2024 – Oct 2024)
SIA is no doubt pleased with Seattle’s route performance, which has seen load factors over over 95% some months, hence the introduction of a fifth weekly connection later this year, which will increase seat capacity by 25% from 2,024 per week to 2,530 per week.
Cathay Pacific notably launched four weekly Hong Kong – Seattle flights in 2019, but has yet to resume the route post-pandemic. This delay potentially presents Singapore Airlines with an opportunity to capitalise on the reduced capacity between the Pacific Northwest and Asia caused by its Oneworld competitor’s prolonged absence.
Singapore Airlines also codeshares on a variety of flights operated by Seattle-based Alaska Airlines across the USA and Mexico, allowing connectivity to several destinations it does not serve directly.
KrisFlyer awards
These are the one-way KrisFlyer miles redemption rates for flights between Singapore and Seattle on these SIA flights.
Taxes and fees of around S$90 are payable in the Singapore – Seattle direction on top of your KrisFlyer miles, though only around S$8 is charged in the Seattle – Singapore direction.
If you intend to book a firm ticket in an eligible booking class, here’s how many miles it will then cost you to upgrade one-way on the Seattle route, assuming saver upgrade award availability in your proposed cabin class.

Singapore Airlines is hiking its Seattle schedule Seattle from late May this year, with a capacity boost of 25% from a fifth weekly non-stop flight, fulfilling a pre-COVID plan delayed by several years by the pandemic.
With impressive passenger demand and consistently high load factors, the route continues to demonstrate strong potential and we wouldn’t be surprised to see further increases in future, particularly as competitors like Cathay Pacific continue to delay their return to Seattle.

Singapore Airlines, the flag carrier of Singapore, has announced that it will be expanding its service to Seattle with the addition of a fifth weekly flight. This move comes in response to the increasing demand for travel between Singapore and Seattle, as well as the growing popularity of the airline’s premium services.
The new flight will operate on Wednesdays, adding to the existing four weekly flights on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
