India made five changes to their playing eleven – Virat Kohli, Washington Sundar, Deepak Chahar, Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj made way for Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah (the player of the match) and Yuzvendra Chahal.
England made four changes
to the eleven that last played the Indians – Dawid Malan, Sam Curran, Adil
Rashid and Mark Wood made way for Joe Root, Craig Overton, David Willey and
Brydon Carse.
On winning the
toss, Rohit Sharma, India’s skipper, chose to field.
The first
Powerplay of England’s innings – which was the mandatory Powerplay – was
between the first and the 10th over. They scored 30, and lost five
wickets.
Jason Roy, who
faced five balls, failed to open his account. Ten balls into the match, Jasprit
Bumrah broke the six-run stand.
The second-wicket
pair didn’t get off the mark. Root, who faced a couple of balls, didn’t open
his account. A couple of balls later, he was caught by Rishabh Pant off the
bowling of Bumrah.
Ben Stokes, who
faced a ball, didn’t open his account. Four balls later, he was caught by Pant.
Shami broke the one-run stand.
Although his
20-ball innings included a boundary, Jonny Bairstow had no reason to be in
seventh heaven – 17 balls later, he was caught by Pant. Bumrah broke the 10-run
stand.
Liam Livingstone, who
faced eight balls, didn’t open his account. Fourteen balls later, Bumrah broke
the nine-run stand.
The second
Powerplay of England’s innings – which was the mandatory Powerplay – was
between the 11th and the 40th over. They scored 80, and
lost five wickets.
England scored 50
off 13.3 overs (81 balls). India had conceded eight extras at that point.
Moeen Ali, whose
18-ball innings included a couple of boundaries, scored 14. Thirty-six balls
after Livingstone’s dismissal, he was caught by Krishna, who broke the 27-run
stand.
It was at that
point that the drinks break was taken. Jos Buttler, England’s skipper, had
scored 24.
Buttler, whose
32-ball innings included half-a-dozen balls, eventually scored 30. Four balls
later, he was caught by Suryakumar Yadav. Shami broke the six-run stand.
Although his runs
came by way of boundaries, Overton, who scored eight, had no reason to be in
seventh heaven – a dozen balls later, Shami broke the nine-run stand.
England scored 100
off 21.4 overs (130 balls). India had conceded nine extras at that point. That
was, incidentally, the number of extras they eventually conceded.
Carse, whose
26-ball innings included a couple of boundaries, scored 15. Forty-one balls
after Overton’s dismissal, Bumrah broke the 35-run stand.
Willey, whose
26-ball innings included three boundaries, scored 21. A dozen balls later,
Bumrah had a reason to be in seventh heaven.
Although his runs
came by way of a six, Reece Topley, who was unbeaten, had no reason to be in
seventh heaven.
England were
bundled out for 110 off 25.2 overs.
Chahal, who bowled
a couple of overs, conceded 10. He was wicketless, as was Hardik, who bowled
four overs, conceding 22.
Krishna, who

the first and the 10th over. They scored 56, without the loss of a
wicket.

put on 50 off 9.5 overs (59 balls). England had conceded three extras at that
point. While Sharma’s contribution to the partnership was 34, Shikhar Dhawan’s
contribution to it was 15.
The second
Powerplay of India’s innings – which was the mandatory Powerplay – was between
the 11th and the 40th over. They scored.
Fifteen overs into
the chase, England sought a bowling review. Sharma was the batsman. Using the
umpires’ call, it was struck down by English umpire Alex Wharf.
Sharma’s
half-century – which included half-a-dozen boundaries and three sixes – came
off 49 balls.
Seventeen overs
into the chase, the drinks break was taken. India had scored 97 without the
loss of a wicket at that point. While Sharma had scored 66, Dhawan had scored
24.
India’s openers
put on 100 off 17.5 overs (107 balls). The number of extras they had conceded
at that point gave England no reason to be in seventh heaven. That was,
incidentally, the number of extras they eventually conceded. While Sharma’s
contribution to the partnership was 66, Shikhar Dhawan’s contribution to it was
27.
Sharma, whose
58-ball innings included seven boundaries and five sixes, eventually scored 76.
He was unbeaten, as was Dhawan, who eventually scored 31 off 54 balls, which
included four boundaries.
India, who scored
114 without the loss of a wicket off 18.4 overs, won by 10 wickets with 188
balls to spare.
Needless to say,
each of the six bowlers was wicketless.
Stokes, who bowled
an over, conceded a run.

couple of overs, conceded nine.
