Left hurting after the defeat in the rescheduled fifth Test against England, India have now found solace. Producing a clinical show at Edgbaston, ironically the same venue where they lost the last Test, India outplayed England by 49 runs in the second T20I on Saturday to clinch the series 2-0, reducing the third and final game in Nottingham to a dead rubber.
Having won the opening game in Southampton by 50 runs, India thus beat England for the fourth consecutive time in a T20I series. India have, in fact, never lost a series to England in this format. This was India’s 14th T20I win on the trot under Rohit Sharma, and most importantly, this solid performance will help the team gain big confidence ahead of the T20 World Cup later this year in Australia.
