For England, Jofra Archer and Mark Wood were effective in Powerplay, while leg -spinner Adil Rashid put pressure in the middle overs. In the first two matches, Sanju Samson could not play comfortable in front of Archer, after scoring three runs in six balls, then he became a victim of this bowler. Opener Abhishek Sharma scored 25 runs in 14 balls but Bridan Cars sent him to the pavilion.
Captain Suryakumar Yadav scored 14 runs in seven balls and he once again lost wickets cheaply after playing wrong shot off Wood. Tilak Verma, who was running in the form, could not maintain the rhythm and Rashid’s ball hit his stump directly.
