NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) — England inflicted India’s biggest ever T20 loss, beating the reigning world champion and its by 125 runs to move 2-0 ahead in their five-match series on Tuesday.
Phil Salt’s 70 off 44 balls and Sam Curran’s 24-ball 41 helped England post 201-7 at Trent Bridge, three days after a four-wicket win at Old Trafford.
India didn’t get close in its chase, losing the 15-year-old Sooryavanshi for a five-ball 13 that contained two sixes and slumping from 23-0 to 76 all out in a shocking collapse.
It was the first time India has lost by more than 100 runs in a T20 international. Its previous biggest loss by runs was by 80 against New Zealand in 2019.
The Indians are in something of a crisis in the T20 format, having lost their last four completed matches. Back-to-back losses in England have followed a stunning 2-0 .
The first T20 between England and India was washed out.
