That's It! Mohammed Shami was dismissed in the last ball of the 19th over and Dhruv Jurel departed in the last over. India were clutching straws at the end and they deservedly got a 26-run loss. The England bowling and captaincy were absolutely on spot. Special mention should go to Adil Rashid who showed sensational control and started the chole first. England close the gap in the series making the margin 2-1 now.
Out! India get back-to-back body blows. First Axar Patel and then Hardik Pandya departs within some balls. Jofra Archer gets Axar to slice a low fulltoss to third man and then Hardik tries to thump Jamie Overton towards long off and gets holed off. India are nearing a loss here. Axar c Adil Rashid b Jofra Archer 15(16) and Hardik Pandya c Buttler b Jamie Overton 40(35).
The England bowlers have kept the stranglehold on and the asking rate is getting higher and higher with every passing over. Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel have been able to get only one boundaries each with boundaries coming rarely. They will need something to break free here.
Out! End of Washington Sundar's innings. Tried to loft a cutter from Jamie Overton and gets nowhere near the required timing. The ball loops off to the hands of Jos Buttler at mid-off. Half of Indian side is down now. Washington Sundar c Buttler b Jamie Overton 6(15).
Adil Rashid has held the hosts by the scruff of the neck and refused to let go. His three overs have been bowled with superb control and it kept India from cutting loose. Someone will need to tee off here if India needs to get ahead of the asking rate
Out! Adil Rashid breaks through the gates of Tilak Varma. Bowls it slow, gives loop and the ball dips with legbreak turning and Tilak gets cleaned up. Fantastic bowling from Adil Rashid and England will be elated here. Tilak Varma b Adil Rashid 18(14).
Out! The Indian captain falls cheaply again. Suryakumar Yadav tries to play his signature flick over fine leg but mistimes and the ball goes high only for Phil Salt to settle and take the catch. England are gradually clawing their way back in the game and they will look to pick more wickets. Suryakumar Yadav c Philip Salt b Mark Wood 14(7).
Out! End of the Abhishek Sharma show. Started well but lost a bit of rhythm trying to go too hard at every ball. Brydon Carse uses the change of pace and Abhishek scoffs one high. Jofra Archer settles and takes a very good catch. Abhishek Sharma c Jofra Archer b Brydon Carse 24(14).
Out! Sanju Samson falls to the same strategy from England. Continuous high pace deliveries directed at his ribs and Samson has to desperately go for a pull shot over mid on. Doesn't get the connection and the fielder settles to take an easy catch. England draw first blood. Samson c Adil Rashid b Jofra Archer 3(6).
A bit of accumulation from Adil Rahid and Mark Wood in the end but they ended up with a partnership of 34 valuable runs adding to the total. They will be disappointed and will feel short of at least 20 runs while India will be happy with their bowling performance. Varun Chakaravarthy was phenomenal with the ball as he scalped a five-wicket haul and triggered England's collapse.

England will be really concerned with the batting they produced against spin in the series. They have been consistently troubled by Varun Chakaravarthy in the middle overs, specially Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone has found it really difficult to fare against the Indian spinners. Phil Salt has been struggling to get away against Arshdeep Singh and Ben Duckett has also not been able to make an impact. Only Jos Buttler has been the consistent star for England in the top order and in the last match it was only Brydon Carse who could replicate an impactful performance. Carse was effective with the ball as well alongside Adil Rashid while Jofra Archer and Mark Wood were expensive. England will need a performance as a unit from their players in the third T20I to survive longer in the series.
Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav has not been able to score big so far in the series. Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Tilak Varma were the impressive icons in the batting unit in the first two T20Is. While the middle and the lower middle order is yet to hit the top gear. With Rinku Singh still unavailable due to injury, Gautam Gambhir and co can think of bringing in Shivam Dube or Ramandeep Singh in the lower middle order to add some power in the mix. The spin heavy bowling attack has worked so far and is likely to continue. Jasprit Bumrah Wins Sir Garfield Sobers Award for ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year at ICC Cricket Awards 2024.
