In a nail-biter victory, India has beaten England by 7 runs in the third ODI match. Thus India has clinched the series by 2-1. India, who had batted first, had scored 329 runs in 48.2 overs by setting 330 target. Pant (78), Pandya (64), and Shikhar Dhawan (67) registered fifty-plus scores as India set a 330-run target for the visitors. The Virat Kohli-led side then restricted England to 322/9 to win the match and the series.
With this win, India have clinched the three-match series 2-1. Virat Kohli-led side won all the series’ in this England’s tour of India. India clinched the four-match Test series 3-1 and then went onto win the five-match T20I series 3-2.
Meanwhile, Captain Virat Kohli said he was surprised that pacer Shardul Thakur was not awarded ‘Man of the Match’ after an excellent bowling effort in the third and final T20I of the series. Shardul’s bowling figures 4-67 in his four overs including the crucial wickets of Dawid Malan (50), skipper Jos Buttler (15) and Liam Livingstone (36).
On the other hand, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who scalped three wickets and a total of six grabs in his comeback series was also a strong contender for the Man of the Series.
“I am surprised Shardul was not the man of the match, and Bhuvi was not the man of the series. A lot of credit to them for bowling so well in adverse conditions. Prasidh and Krunal were impressive but death overs batting was extremely good, despite the early wickets, and if the top three can get a hundred, then we can get 370s and 380s later,” Kohli told host broadcaster Star Sports in the post-match presentation.
