The second round of the T20I series among England and India will be played on July 9 at Edgbaston in Birmingham. India right now lead the three-match series by a 1-0 edge.
It was a strong presentation from the Indian side in the main T20I to get an early lead in the series. Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the throw and picked to bat first. The choice paid off as they got off to a flying beginning. Hardik Pandya scored a fifty to take his group to 198 on the board.
Mooen Ali and Chris Jordan got two wickets each, with the last option offering just 23 runs in his four overs.
The English side had the absolute worst beginning to the pursuit. Their players never got rolling as they continued to lose wickets at customary stretches.
Mooen Ali top-scored with 36 for them however an absence of commitments from different hitters brought about them getting pushed over on 148, losing the game by 50 runs. Hardik Pandya featured with the ball, getting done with four wickets.
The English side were outflanked in the initial round of the T20I series. They should move forward and fire as one to keep the series alive.
