In defending India’s 171/7 score, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel combined for 6 wickets, knocking out England for just 103 runs.
The English batsmen found it difficult to overcome the cunning and variety of the Indian spinners on the sluggish, low ground at Providence Stadium in Guyana.
Jos Buttler, the captain of England, said that his team was “outplayed” and that India’s spinners were “exceptional.”. The English batsmen were unable to properly handle the strong turn and bounce that the Indian spinners were able to generate from the surface.
In the fourth over, Axar Patel took out England skipper Buttler with a daring reverse sweep, which established India’s dominance in spin.He continued by dismissing Moeen Ali and Jonny Bairstow as well.
Axar was well-supported by Kuldeep Yadav, who claimed three vital wickets, including that of dangerous man Harry Brook. Jasprit Bumrah contributed two wickets as well.
