IND vs ENG: India beat England by 4 wickets in 2nd ODI

IND vs ENG: India seals the series! The hosts gave a commanding performance, outshining England and securing the series with one game remaining.

India’s chase was driven by pure intent, with Rohit Sharma leading the way in his signature style! Batting with elegance, Rohit and Shubman Gill effortlessly brought up their fifties, combining for a scorching century partnership. Gill fell for 60 runs, and Virat Kohli couldn’t get going, but Captain Rohit remained relentless, scoring his 32nd ODI century in spectacular fashion. Although he was dismissed before the finish line, his knock was a key highlight as he was dismissed for 119 runs. 

Following Rohit’s dismissal, Shreyas Iyer played a vital role, while Axar Patel, with his calm and composed 41*, guided India to victory, finishing the chase with ease.

India successfully chased down the target in 44.3 overs, losing 6 wickets along the way.

England will be disappointed with their bowling performance! They couldn’t make early breakthroughs and were sloppy in the field, allowing India to seize control. Wickets came in the middle and towards the end, with Jamie Overton picking up two. While Gus Atkinson, Adil Rashid, and Liam Livingstone made some contributions, at that point, India had already put them on the back foot.

Earlier in the match, England posted a competitive total of 304, with stylish half-centuries from Ben Duckett (65) and Joe Root (69). Liam Livingstone (41) providing the finishing touches. However, India’s spinners turned the game around. Ravindra Jadeja was outstanding, taking three crucial wickets, while Harshit Rana and Mohammad Shami also made vital contributions to stem the flow of runs and regain control after a tough beginning.
