If we talk about the match, the Indian batting, which came to chase the target of 166 runs given by England, faltered in Chennai. Tilak held one end but he did not get the expected support from the other end and England’s bowlers kept taking wickets at regular intervals. Carse was the most successful bowler for England, taking three wickets for 29 runs.
In-form Abhishek Sharma gave India an aggressive start and hit three fours in the very first over of Archer. But he lost his wicket on Mark Wood’s 148 kmph ball. After this, Archer put India in trouble by sending off Samson.
Captain Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak then added 39 runs for the third wicket and took the score to 58 runs. Cars sent Suryakumar to the pavilion. At this time India’s score was 58 runs for three wickets. Dhruv Jurel and Hardik Pandya also got out cheaply and the score became 78 runs for five wickets.
However, Washington Sundar played a useful innings, taking full advantage of the lifeline he got from Adil Rashid in mid-on on the ball of Wood at the score of ten runs. He hit a six and two fours off Wood but returned after being caught at third man off Carse’s ball. India’s score was 116 runs for six wickets but Tilak held one end and proved to be a finisher.
Earlier, Jos Buttler played a fighting innings but the rest of the batsmen could not support him and India restricted England to 165 runs for nine wickets due to the excellent performance of its spinners. Butler scored 45 runs in 30 balls with the help of two fours and three sixes.
