India Wins The Series
The five match T20I series between India and England has ended 4-1 in favour of India. India beat England by 150 runs in the final T20I match, played at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on February 2, 2025, the biggest T20I victory of this team’s history. Â
Match Highlights
Young opener Abhishek Sharma lights up with a sensational 135 off 54 balls, hitting 13 sixes and 7 fours, playing brilliant cricket. India posted 247/9 on the back of his explosive innings. Â
England’s Collapse: England crumbled when chasing a grand total and were bowled out for 97 runs off 10.3 overs. Elsewhere, the only notable performer was Phil Salt, who scored 55 runs. Â
Bowling Dominance: Mohammed Shami was the man behind India’s bowling attack, and took the three crucial wickets, while spin duo of Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi kept England batsmen at bay. Â
India’s New Aggressive Approach
India under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir was ultra aggressive in his method of playing. The team capitalized on their fearless and high risk approach by running hard at the cost of possible failure on a regular basis. Finally, the strategy proved highly effective, especially in the last game in which the Indian batting lineup took full advantage. Â
England’s Struggles Against Spin
A major concern was England’s inability to handle Indian spinners. Head coach Brendon McCullum also admitted that his side needs to improve against spin, urging his players to play more aggressively than being defensive. Â
Conclusion Â
This dominant series win marks India’s authority in the T20 format. The teams are now gearing for the upcoming ODI series in which India will try to carry the winning momentum further and England will try to rectify mistakes and come back.
