Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav shine with the bat
After being put into bat by England, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma led from the front, scoring a vital 57 off 39 balls. Despite early wickets, Sharma’s innings, laced with 6 fours and 2 sixes, set the tone for India’s innings. India’s middle order, particularly Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya, contributed crucial runs to guide their team to a competitive total of 171/7 in 20 overs. Suryakumar’s composed 47 off 36 balls, along with Pandya’s explosive 23 off 13, ensured that India maintained a steady run rate. Contributions from Ravindra Jadeja (17 off 9) and a few handy runs from the tailenders pushed the score further, putting England under pressure.
England’s bowling unit, led by Chris Jordan‘s impressive figures of 3/37 in 3 overs, managed to restrict India’s aggressive batters at crucial junctures. Reece Topley, Jofra Archer, Sam Curran, and Adil Rashid each picked up a wicket, but India’s consistent batting left England chasing a challenging target.
