India takes on England in the first T20I at Southampton on July 7 after the Test series loss. The match starts at 10.30 pm IST (6 pm local time). Both teams get a day’s turnaround after the Edgbaston Test as they look forward to winning a T20I and ODI series.
Both BCCI and RCB have announced squads for the T20I series. The selectors have named two different squads for the three games. The Indian squad that played the T20I series against Ireland has been picked for the first T20I. Only Rohit Sharma is back among the senior players in that side to lead them. The remaining two T20Is will see the likes of Rohit, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and other senior players return to the side.
Jos Buttler is England’s new white-ball captain after Morgan’s international retirement. He spoke about the impact of Morgan on the side and that he will be trying to follow in his footsteps. Ben Stokes, Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow are not a part of the T20I side. All of them make a comeback in the ODI series.
it will be interesting to see England’s approach in the white-ball series after the kind of cricket they played in the last four Test matches. Head coach Brendon has certainly taught the side to embrace a different brand of cricket which the players have lived up
India tour of England 2022, 1st T20I will be telecasted on Sony Sports Network in India and other subcontinent regions like Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka while the online streaming will take place on Sony Liv mobile application or their official website sonyliv.com.
India crush England by 50 runs, take 1-0 lead
That's it! India have done it. Arshdeep Singh ends the contest with the wicket of Matthew Parkinson third-ball in the final over. A dominating performance from Rohit Sharma and co. as India thrash England by 50 runs in this first T20I in Southampton. Hardik Pandya (51 and 4/33) starred with both bat and ball and was provided excellent support from his teammates. While Deepak Hooda (33) and Suryakumar Yadav (39) played breezy knocks, Yuzvendra Chahal (2/32) and debutant Arshdeep (2/18) picked up a couple of wickets each alongside the all-rounder. Hardik also became the fifth all-rounder ever (full members) to score a fifty and take four wickets. A memorable performance from Team India as they take 1-0 lead in three match series. Jos Buttler's debut match as England skipper ends with a defeat
Great performance from ball one. All batters showed intent. Although the pitch was good, we played good shots and never got ahead of the game. You got make use of those six overs in the powerplay. There is a certain approach we want to take in the powerplay. You got to back yourself in this game as sometimes it comes off, sometimes it doesn't. The whole batting unit needs to understand the direction the team is taking and the guys were spot on today. I was impressed with his bowling. He wants to do that a lot more in the future, bowled quick and used his variations too. That's the reason we wanted to bat. Sometimes it does swing under the lights and we wanted to utilize that. Both the new ball bowlers used the swing and stopped their batters. We were sloppy on the field. Those catches should have been taken. Pretty sure we will field pretty well in the coming games.
