Batting first, England posted a competitive total of 165/9 in the allotted 20 overs. The visitors were reeling at 90 for 5 at one stage before being rescued by the lower-order players. The likes of Brydon Carse (31) and Jamie Smith (22) played handy knocks towards the end to power their team to a 150-plus total.
In reply, India were off to a shaky start. The batting hero of the first T20I, Abhishek Sharma started his knock by hitting Jofra Archer for three fours in the very first over but was dismissed by Mark Wood in the second. India lost the wickets of Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav inside the powerplay as well.
Suryakumar Yadav bows down in front of Tilak Varma:
With the likes of Hardik Pandya and Dhruv Jurel failing to fire as well, India soon found themselves reeling at 78 for 5. However, Tilak Varma stood firm at one end and stayed till the end to take the hosts home.
In the end, the equation was 6 runs from the last over and it took Tilak Varma just two deliveries to hit the winning runs. And after the match-winning knock from the young batsman, captain Suryakumar Yadav came up with a heartwarming gesture for him.
