Indian Innings:
Batting first, Indian openers Roit Sharma 31 (20) and Rishabh Pant 26 (15) gave a relatively good start. Next Kohli 1 (3), Suryakumar Yadav 15 (11), Hardik Pandya 12 (15) did not perform well. Dinesh Karthik too was run out for 12 (17) in a desperate bid for three runs.
In this case, Ravindra Jadeja’s 46 (29) played well in the final stage, and India scored 170/8 in 20 overs.
England Innings:
Moeen Ali 35 (21) and David Willey 33 (22) were the only big scorers in the England team chasing the target. Others did not even cross 20 runs. While Bhuvneshwar Kumar got a golden duck in the last match, Butler got the golden duck in this match. Buttler also did not score a big 4 (5). Livingston was bowled by Bumrah for 15 (9).
In the end, England lost by 49 runs, scoring only 121/10 in 17 overs. Bhuvneshwarkumar was amazing with 3/15 wickets. Bumrah and Sahal took two wickets each.
Rohit Talks:
Speaking after the match, Rohit Sharma said, “The same team will continue to play from now on. Now that England have clinched the series, I want to give those on the bench a chance too. Dravitim will speak about this,” he said.
With this, it seems that the team selection for the T20 World Cup has been finalized. There will only be one change if KL Rahul recovers quickly from his injury. But the chance of that is very less.
Team India: Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Dinesh Karthik, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Bumrah.
