SKY-led India beat England, advance

India made no changes to their playing eleven.

England made four changes to their playing eleven – Ben Duckett, Liam Livingstone, Brydon Carse, and Mark Wood made way for Tom Banton, Will Jacks, Sam Curran, and Liam Dawson.

On winning the toss, Harry Brook, England’s skipper, elected to field.

The first Powerplay of India’s innings – which was the mandatory Powerplay – was between the first and the sixth over. They scored 67, for the loss of a wicket.

Though his nine-ball innings included a couple of boundaries, Abhishek had no reason to be in seventh heaven – he scored nine. A couple of overs into the (Shar)match, he was caught by Phil Salt. Jacks broke the 20-run stand.

India scored 50 off 4.3 overs (27 balls). England had not conceded any extras at that point.

After the Powerplay, the drinks break was taken. While Sanju Samson, the player of the match, had scored 41, Ishan Kishan had scored 16.

The second-wicket pair put on 50 off 25 balls. While Samson’s contribution to the partnership was 34, Kishan’s contribution to it was 16. Extras’ contribution to the partnership was a run.

Samson’s half-century – which included seven boundaries and three sixes – came off 26 balls.

India scored 100 off 8.3 overs (51 balls). England had conceded a couple of extras at that point.

Kishan, whose 18-ball innings included four boundaries and a couple of sixes, eventually scored 39. Forty-five balls after Abhishek’s dismissal, he was caught by Jacks. Adil Rashid broke the 97-run partnership.

India scored 150 off 12.4 overs (76 balls). England had conceded four extras at that point.

Samson, whose 42-ball innings included eight boundaries and seven sixes, eventually scored 89. Twenty-two balls after Kishan’s dismissal, he was caught by Salt. Jacks broke the 43-run stand.

At that point, the drinks break was taken. Shivam Dube had scored 18.

Suryakumar Yadav, India’s skipper, scored 11 off half-a-dozen balls, which included a six. Fifteen balls after Samson’s dismissal, he was stumped by Jos Buttler. Rashid broke the 30-run stand.

India scored 200 off 16.5 overs (101 balls). The number of extras they had conceded at that point gave England no reason to be in seventh heaven.

A hundred and four balls (17.2 overs) into the match, England sought a bowling review. They challenged the decision for a wicket. Dube was the batter. It was struck down by South African umpire Allahuddien Paleker.

The fifth-wicket pair put on 22. Dube, whose 25-ball innings included a boundary and four sixes, eventually scored 43. Eleven balls later, Brook ran him out.

Though his innings included three sixes, Tilak Varma had no reason to be in seventh heaven – he scored 21. Eight balls later, Jofra Archer broke the 24-run stand.

Between the 19th and the 20th over of the match, a slow over-rate penalty was imposed on England, because there was an extra fielder inside the circle.

India scored 250 off 19.4 overs (118 balls). England had conceded 10 extras at that point.

The seventh-wicket pair put on 15. Hardik Pandya, whose 12-ball innings included three boundaries and a couple of sixes, scored 27. Half-a-dozen balls after Varma’s dismissal, Jacob Bethell and Buttler ran him out.

Axar Patel, who faced a couple of balls, scored as many. He was unbeaten, as was Varun Chakravarthy, who faced a ball, failing to get off the mark.

The first Powerplay of England’s innings – which was the mandatory Powerplay – was between the first and the sixth over. They scored 68, for the loss of three wickets.

Salt, whose three-ball innings included a boundary, scored five. Seven balls into the chase, he was caught by Axar. Hardik broke the 13-run stand.

Though his six-ball innings included a boundary, Brook had no reason to be in seventh heaven – 18 balls later, he was caught by Axar. Jasprit Bumrah broke the 25-run stand.
