By Admin The fifth and final match of the T20 series is being played between India and England at The Rose Bowl Stadium in Southampton. England batted brilliantly in this match and scored 257 runs in 20 overs. This is England’s biggest score against India in T20 International. Jos Buttler and Harry Brook created history for England. Butler played a explosive inning of 131 runs in 64 balls. Whereas Brook scored unbeaten 95 runs in 45 balls.
Even in the fifth T20, Team India’s fielding was very poor, and Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy was very poor. Indian players dropped many catches in this match also. The fielding of Team India, which had already lost the series, was once again mediocre. Whereas captain Shreyas Iyer once again failed to use the bowlers properly.
In this match, Team India entered with four specialist bowlers. Shivam Dubey and Suryansh Shedge were the other bowling options. When Shedge gave three runs in the first over, Iyer stopped him. Axar Patel had given 34 runs in the first two overs. Akshar had given 25 runs in his second over. Even after this, Captain Iyer made him bowl the entire four overs. Akshar gave 63 runs in four overs. Iyer did not make Shivam Dubey bowl for 18 overs. He was given the 19th straight over. Iyer took many such simple decisions in the match.
Historic partnership of Butler and Brook, created a new record
Jos Buttler and Harry Brook made a historic partnership of 233 runs for the second wicket. This is England’s biggest partnership for any wicket in T20 International. Even for the first time in this format, there has been a double century partnership for England.
