IND vs ENG, 2nd T20I: Tilak Varma’s crafty fifty takes India over the line in last over thriller against England

IND vs ENG: Tilak Varma produced a brilliant knock under pressure to guide India to a two-wicket win in the second T20I against England.

The second Twenty20 International between India and England played on Saturday at Chennai’s M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, exemplified the ebbs and flows that have come to define the game’s shortest format. Ultimately, a fast and cunning unbeaten 55-ball 72 from Tilak Varma led India to a close two-wicket victory, giving the hosts a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.

 

India bowled 14 overs of spin, while England managed only six. India fielded four spinners, while England used four pacers. A peek at the team sheets before to the commencement of play revealed that one of the sides had significantly underestimated the circumstances.

Jos Buttler’s 45 and Brydon Carse’s late cameo of 31 had previously powered England to a competitive 165 after being called into bat. Despite their great performance, Tilak’s brilliance helped India take a commanding 2-0 lead in the series.
