Team IND Manage To Post 171/7 vs ENG

Put to bat first, Rohit Sharma and co. started steadily on a challenging Guyana pitch which also experienced some rain on it. Opener Virat Kohli however, couldn't shrug off his poor form in the tournament and had to depart at a run-a-ball 9 after hitting a brilliant six off Reece Topley in the same over.

Rohit Sharma however, tried to keep the run-rate up by hitting some good shots all over the ground. Rishabh Pant was also dismissed at just 4 runs after a poorly timed shot.

It was Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav who stitched up a 73-run partnership that took India to 113/3 at 13.4 overs. While Rohit Sharma led by example with a brilliant 57, SKY too joined the party with a fiery 36-ball 47 on the day but was dismissed by Jofra Archer.

It was spinner Adil Rashid who took the all-important of the lethal opener for England and saved a lot of potential runs for them.

In came Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja to salvage the scene and take the Men in Blue to a challenging total in the end. It was Rohit Sharma who top-scored for India as India posted 171/7 in their 20 overs on a slow track.

Hardik Pandya's 23-run cameo came in handy for the Men in Blue to post the total. England's bowling contingent would be satisfied with their performance on the day as almost every bowler picked up a scalp each for the Three Lions to restrict India from posting a mammoth total on the board. Chris Jordan led the line-up with 3 wickets to his name.
