England won by 9 wickets with 37 balls remaining as Harry Brook’s unbeaten 79 powered a clinical chase of 159 against India in the fourth T20 of the India tour of England 2026. The result gave England a 3-0 lead in the T20 leg after earlier wins by four wickets and 125 runs, with the opening match of the series ending in no result.
India’s 158/7 always looked a competitive score rather than a commanding one, and that distinction became decisive once England’s top order found its range. Shreyas Iyer held the innings together with 80, while Shivam Dube added 22 and Abhishek Sharma made 16. But England kept chipping away, with Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue taking two wickets apiece and Will Jacks claiming one to prevent India from building the kind of total that could truly test a deep batting line-up.
Iyer’s 80 was the one substantial innings of the first half of the match, and it gave India something to bowl at. Yet England’s response was ruthless. Phil Salt blasted 59 at the top, setting the tempo immediately, and once England were away, India could not apply sustained pressure. Arshdeep Singh picked up the only wicket of the chase, but that breakthrough did little to slow the pursuit.
Brook, named Player of the Match, took over the contest with a commanding unbeaten 79, steering England to 159/1 in just 13.5 overs. Jos Buttler finished unbeaten on 8 as England raced past the target and underlined the gap between the sides across the T20s so far. The speed of the chase told its own story: England did not just win, they overran India.
This result extends England’s series lead to 3-0 in the T20s, following the no result in Match 1, the four-wicket win in Match 2, and the 125-run hammering in Match 3. There is still one more T20 to come on Saturday, July 11, before the tour shifts into the ODI leg with matches on July 14, July 16 and July 19.
