England posted a challenging total of 201/7 in 20 overs against India in the crucial third T20I at Trent Bridge. Opener Phil Salt’s quick 70 off 43 balls and late hitting by Sam Curran (41*) were instrumental in England’s strong batting display.
Prince Yadav and Harshit Rana picked up two wickets each for India, with Yadav claiming his first two international wickets in the match. Despite a slow start, England managed to build a competitive total, with Jos Buttler contributing 38 runs before being dismissed.
India fought back in the middle overs, with Rana removing key batsmen like Jacob Bethell and Tom Banton in quick succession. Salt’s fifty and Curran’s aggressive innings towards the end propelled England past the 200-run mark.
With this total, India faces the challenge of chasing 200 for the first time against England in a T20I. The visitors need a win in this match to keep the series alive, as England aims to secure a 2-0 lead with two matches remaining.
