Ayyar leads India to 158 but England chase down in 13.5 overs

Winning the toss, India chose to bat and managed 158 for 7 in their allotted twenty overs. Early wickets fell at 48/3, but captain Shreyas Ayyar steadied the ship with a patient 80 off 49 balls, partnering with Shivam Dubey for a brief stand. Ayyar later added runs with Tilak Varma and Washington Sundar before being bowled. England’s reply was swift: after a quick loss of Jos Buttler for eight runs, Harry Brook and Philip Salt built a 146‑run partnership, reaching the target in just 13.5 overs. Only Arshdeep Singh claimed a wicket for India, finishing with figures of 1 for 41.
