This match was the final match of the 3 match series, and, with the series level at 1-1, the excitement for this match was at an all-time high. England, who had been in India for more than 3 months, were looking to end this tour on a high after losing both the Test and the ODI series. However, what transpired in Bengaluru ended their tour on the worst possible note.

After winning the toss, England chose to field and put India to bat at Chinnaswamy Stadium. Even though India lost their skipper Kohli just after 7 balls, fifties from Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni and vital knocks from KL Rahul and Yuvraj Singh propelled India to a mammoth total of 202/6 in 20 overs.

England had a similar start, as they lost Billings after 9 balls, but some fantastic vatting by Root, Roy and Morgan took them to 119/2 in 13 over. From there on, it was a free fall for them as they lost the next 8 wickets for just 8 runs, folding for just 127 runs. Yuzvendra Chahal was the weapon of destruction for England as he took 6 wickets in India's 75 run win and a 2-1 win in the series.
