The batting order fell apart in the power play itself.

The start of the Indian team was very bad. Five wickets fell within the powerplay itself, due to which the team came under pressure. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, captain Shreyas Iyer and Akshar Patel returned to the pavilion early.

After this, Tilak Verma, Shivam Dubey and lower order batsmen also could not make a big partnership. For England, Josh Tong took four wickets, Joffra Archer took three wickets, while Adil Rashid and Will Jacques also achieved important successes.

Phil Salt and Sam Curran gave a strong start

For England, Phil Salt played a brilliant inning of 70 runs. Apart from them, Jos Buttler scored 36 runs and Sam Curran scored unbeaten 41 runs, taking the team’s score beyond 200. Harshit Rana and Prince Yadav took two wickets each for India.

Shameful record registered in the name of Team India

With this defeat, India suffered its biggest defeat by a margin of runs in T20 International. Earlier in 2019, New Zealand had defeated India by 80 runs. Not only this, the Indian team has also failed to register victory in five consecutive T20 international matches.

Now the challenge to save the series

After the cancellation of the first match due to rain and defeat in the second and third matches, India has now lagged behind in the series. The fourth match will be played in Bristol on 9 July. Team India will face a big challenge to save its honor and make a comeback, while England will aim to capture the series with a win.
