India captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to bat/bowl in the fifth T20I against England at The Rose Bowl Stadium in Southampton. England have already sealed the series by taking a 3-0 lead in the four matches after the series opener was washed out due to rain.

India captain Shreyas Iyer, who replaced Suryakumar Yadav before the UK tour as India's captain, will look to win the fifth T20I to register a maiden win under his leadership. India are featuring with two changes as Sanju Samson and Suryansh Shedge came in place of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Washington Sundar. England made one change, bringing in Liam Dawson in place of Rehan Ahmed.

Captains at toss

Shreyas Iyer (India captain): We are gonna bowl first, considering the bowling which we've done for the last couple of matches. I feel that we've tried, almost tried and experienced almost everything. So, today based on the conditions, windy, and also the weather seemed to be, we had a chat before, that they mentioned that the wicket won't change that much. So, based on that, selected to bowl first. (Bit of a hiccup in a delay to getting to the ground. Has that affected the team at all?) Not really. I personally feel that we've seen almost everything in this series and also the one which we played before. So, another challenge, another day altogether. We are up for the challenge and it's a great opportunity overall. (What do you want to see from your team today?) I just want them to give hundred percent effort, irrespective of the result. I just want them to have a solid set of mindset where they just go in and try to get the best out of themselves, rather than sulking or being in that situation where you are a bit hurried out the game, give yourself some time, relax, take a breather. So just be in the moment and stop thinking about what's happened or what's going to happen. (Any changes?) Yeah, we've got two changes. Suryansh Shedge in for Washington and Sanju Samson comes in for Sooryavanshi. I feel this is the time we need to try what's the best going forward for us as a team. So based on that, we decided this.

Harry Brook (England Captain): If we win today we go number 1, that's on the back of my mind. He is a valuable player for us.
