adminEDGBASTON. — England captain Eoin Morgan laid the platform for a thrilling three-run win over India in the lone Twenty20 international cricket match at Edgbaston on Sunday.
Morgan top-scored with a dashing 71 in England’s 180 for seven after he won the toss in the final match of India’s tour of England.
Nevertheless, India were cruising to victory while Virat Kohli was making 66.
But when he was out India lost their way and they needed 17 off the last over, bowled by Chris Woakes, to win.
But, importantly, India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, one of the world’s most dynamic limited overs batsmen, was facing and he promptly launched the first ball of the over over square-leg for six.
The next ball saw India complete a risky two as Dhoni retained the strike. Dhoni failed to score off the third ball but mishit the fourth off paceman Woakes for a boundary over long off. — AFP.
