Earlier in the game, England came out all guns blazing, with Phil Salt and Ben Duckett launching a fiery assault on debutant Harshit Rana, propelling their side to a rapid 75/0. Just when it seemed like a one-way traffic, India roared back in stunning fashion, striking not once, but thrice in the space of just eight balls to shift the momentum. Jos Buttler looked in fine touch, anchoring the innings, while Jacob Bethell, despite looking a bit unsettled, contributed valuable runs. Both batters reached well-deserved half-centuries, but India’s disciplined bowling ensured that England never truly ran away with the game. Harshit Rana bounced back brilliantly from his expensive start, finishing with three wickets, while Ravindra Jadeja worked his magic in the middle overs, also claiming three crucial scalps. In the end, England were bundled out for just 248 in under 48 overs, as India’s bowlers kept the pressure on and took wickets at regular intervals.
