Earlier, Chinnamand Kuldeep, the best performer, kept England out of a big score. The English team, however, managed to score a respectable score on the strength of Jos Buttler (53), Ben Stokes (50) and finally Moin Ali (24) and Adil Rashid (22). Jason Roy and Johnny Biersto gave a good start to the hosts and gave 73 runs on the score board for the first wicket. Both scored 38-38 runs. It seemed that England would reach a good score but Kuldeep gave Jason the first breakthrough to India.
Kuldeep gave the team first success
From here, Kuldeep once again weakened the middle order of England. He made Joe Root (3) on his next victim’s total score of 81. After one run, Beyersto also got trapped in Kuldeep’s spin. Now there was a stroll. He got England captain Eoin Morgan (19) out of the hands of Suresh Raina to score four for 105 in the home team’s score. Stokes and Butler handled the team here. Both of them chipped Kuldeep and Chahal without any hesitation and played a 93-run partnership for the fifth wicket. But once again, Kuldeep succeeded to make India a success.
This time the target became butler. Kuldeep’s ball went out of leg stump and took the edge of Butler’s bat to Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s gloves. Butler faced 51 balls and delivered five balls across the border. Meanwhile, Stokes had completed his half-century but after that he could not add to his account. He played a reverse sweep on Kuldeep’s ball, but Sridhath Kaul ended the innings with a brilliant catch to the stove. Stokes played 103 balls and scored just two boundaries.
Umesh took two wickets, Chahal got a breakthrough
Kuldeep dismissed David Vley (1) on a total of 216 and completed his six wickets. England’s hopes were from Moin, who proved their team to some extent right. Although he tried to play big shot on Umesh Yadav’s ball, Virat Kohli was caught in the hands of him. Rashid also caught Umesh in the same way by the hearty Pandya. Apart from Kuldeep, Umesh took two wickets while Chahal got a breakthrough. Fast bowler Siddharth, playing his first ODI match, proved to be quite expensive. They were unable to take wickets even after giving 62 runs in 10 overs.
