India Finish Their Summer Tour with a Narrow but Avoidable Loss in the Only T20 at Edgbaston - Kridangan Sports
Indians made a heavy weather of their batting in the last few overs to lose an otherwise winnable and the only T20 match of their English tour. It was the last game left in their itinerary before India flew back home. Everything pointed to an India victory until the better part of the match, before everything rested on 5 runs off the last two deliveries of Chris Woakes’ over. Dhoni strangely refused a single off the penultimate ball. Maybe, he thought that Ambati Rayudu could not finish the match with a boundary and perhaps felt more assured of whacking the last ball himself for six. But Dhoni’s heave off a slower ball didn’t connect as he wished and just a single accrued to give England a 3-run victory.
