Southampton sees England complete 4-0 T20 clean sweep over India
On July 11 in Southampton, England wrapped up the five‑match T20 series with a 56‑run victory, clinching a 4‑0 whitewash over India. The series began with a no‑result due to rain, followed by England’s four‑wicket win in match two, a 125‑run demolition in match three, and a nine‑wicket rout in match four.
Choosing to bat, England amassed 257/3, thanks to a mammoth 233‑run partnership between Jos Buttler (131 off 64 balls, 8 sixes, 12 fours) and captain Harry Brook (95 not out off 45 balls, 8 sixes, 4 fours). The duo steadied the innings after early dismissals at 8 and 18.4 overs.
India’s chase concluded at 201 all out. Shivam Dube offered 22 runs and two wickets, while Krishna added a wicket. Captain Shreyas Iyer made 28, and Ishant Kishan’s 56 (nine fours) paced the innings, supported by Tilak Varma’s 53. England’s Sam Curran claimed three wickets, and Adil Rashid took two to finish the dominant performance.
