MUMBAI, Feb. 3 -- Abhishek Sharma's 37-ball 100 - the second-fastest by an Indian in T20s - powered India to a 150-run win in the fifth and final T20 international at Wankhede Stadium on Sunday giving the home team a 4-1 series triumph.

Sharma hit England for 13 sixes en route to his 135.

Chasing a mammoth 248, England opener Phil Salt (55 off 23) started well but had little support as wickets tumbled around him. Indian spinners took early wickets, leaving the visitors stumbling at 68-4.

England collapsed to 97 all out in 10.3 overs with Mohammed Shami claiming three wickets and Varun Chakaravarthy, Shivam Dube, and Abhishek taking two apiece.P16
