IND vs ENG 4th T20I: With the scoreline of 2-1, India and England are now going to play the fourth T20I of the series at the MCA Stadium, Pune. There is a lot at stake for England, but India has some breathing space. 
England have lost all three tosses so far and still managed to secure a win while batting first on a batting paradise. Meanwhile, India, who were used to winning series with a clean sweep, have lost one match in the series but can still wrap up the series in their favor today in Pune.
Let's take a look at the squads and strongest Playing11 possible for India and England in the 4th T20I:
<h2>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Squads</h2>
England Squad: Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler(c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith(w), Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Saqib Mahmood, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell, Rehan Ahmed
India Squad: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Dhruv Jurel, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana
<hr>
<h2>Playing11 and Strategies</h2>
INDIA: Rinku Singh has returned to contention after recovering from his injury. On Thursday, India's assistant coach, Ryan ten Doeschate, confirmed that he is fully fit. His extended net session further hinted at his potential inclusion in the playing XI for the upcoming match.  
When it comes to strategy, India relied heavily on spin in the previous game, fielding five spinners—Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, and Abhishek Sharma—alongside just two pacers, Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67950e34bd1be.jpg" alt="">
However, the pitch in Pune is unlikely to offer much assistance to spinners. With Rinku Singh, a reliable left-handed batter, back in the mix, India could consider making a tactical adjustment by replacing Washington Sundar with an additional pacer, Arshdeep Singh, to strengthen their pace attack.
*India Playing11: Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy
ENGLAND: England might go with the same playing11 as in the 3rd T20I. There isn't any solid reason for them to make any changes only if there is a forced one. Jamie Smith(if not available) might get replaced by Jacob Bathell if needed.
*England Playing11: Ben Duckett, Philip Salt (wk), Jos Buttler (c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith/Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood

<h2>Pitch Report of Pune's MCA Stadium</h2>
The MCA Stadium in Pune is known for its batting-friendly conditions, making it a prime venue for high-scoring encounters. With short square boundaries and a true surface, batters often enjoy their time in the middle, and big totals are a common sight. If the scores don’t breach the 200-run mark, as was frequently seen in the last IPL, it would likely be due to disciplined bowling rather than any assistance from the pitch.
 <img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679c4dfe0bbbc.jpg" alt="">
Unlike some other venues in India, dew is not a significant factor here, ensuring that both innings are played under fairly consistent conditions. Additionally, the pitch tends to remain firm throughout the game, offering good bounce for stroke play and providing some assistance to pacers who hit the deck hard. With these factors in play, the MCA Stadium is set to witness a thrilling contest filled with raining boundaries and aggressive stroke-making.
<hr>
<h2>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Dream11 Team and Fantasy Tips</h2>
Pune's MCA Stadium is a batting paradise, and unless we witness any sort of collapse, it will be a high-scoring game. Anything under 170 would be below-par. We will make our team based on this, and not to mention, there will be a risk factor. 
For Wicketkeeper, Jos Buttler is going to be the first choice for everyone and he is a must-pick player. Sanju Samson is our second pick as he is not much picked, and he is due for a good performance. There couldn't be a better ground other than MCA Stadium for him to get his form back. He is even a choice for captain if you can take extra risks. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6798f7b286b99.jpg" alt="">
Tilak Verma is in great form and Ben Duckett is a good player of spin. With not much grip off the surface, these two batters are expected to fire to a good extent. SKY is under the radar and this Pune surface suits him so he is going to be in the team considering of what he can do when is in form. Tilak Verma or Ben Duckett can be another option for the captain and probably the safer option.
There are a lot of options in this section for both teams. Hardik Pandya and Liam Livingstone are two must-pick players and besides them, Overton might prove to be a good option. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67990b84a34e9.jpg" alt="">
Arshdeep Singh, if plays the match, must be in the dream11 team. Replace him with Mohammed Shami if Arshdeep doesn't play. Varun Chakravarthy and Mark Wood would be the two other bowlers. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6798f7b59f608.jpg" alt="">
This makes a strong team, more focused on the batting side as the pitch will favor the batters more. The bowling options are those who are most likely going to take wickets on such a surface. 
<h2>Dream11 Team- Grand League</h2>
Wicket-Keeper: Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson(C1) Batters: Surya Kumar Yadav, Den Duckett, Tilak Verma(C2) Allrounders: Hardik Pandya (VC), Liam Livingstone, J Overton Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh, V Chakravarthy, Mark Wood

The wait for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be over. The tournament will begin on 19th February, and the final will take place on 9th March. The India team, no doubt, will be one of the hot favourites to win the tournament, which will be played in a hybrid model. 
India will be playing all their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 games in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will be beginning their campaign against Bangladesh on 20th February, and, after that, will be playing Pakistan on 23rd February, followed by New Zealand on 2nd March. 
The departure date of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 also has been revealed. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that the Rohit Sharma-led side will be travelling to Dubai on 15th February. The reports added that more clarity on the same will come in the coming days. 
<h2>India won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Not only this, it is learned that India also won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because all the teams will be in Pakistan, and hence, it will be difficult for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to arrange the warmup match. 
The reports added that India team management is happy with the net session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because they will be playing the three-match ODI series against England, which will begin on 6th February across three venues in India. 
Apart from this, it is reported that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having a captain photoshoot because of the different challenges along with the different arrivals of the team. This means that Rohit Sharma won't be travelling to Pakistan for this and will be staying in Dubai with the team. 
The opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Lahore. There were talks of having the event in Karachi but the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to host it in Lahore.

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.
