After being asked to bat first by England, Team India managed to score 168 runs for the loss of six wickets in the first innings, with Hardik Pandya and Virat Kohli scoring most of the runs. While Hardik scored 63 runs, Kohli brought up yet another fifty, his fourth of the T20 World Cup 2022. While both Hardik and Kohli finished the Men in Blue's innings on a high, it will be interesting to see if they can now defend the target, with England getting off to a flyer. England have scored 91 runs after just 9 overs with all 10 wickets still in hand. Captain Jos Buttler has scored 36 runs off 25 deliveries, with most of the damage being done by his opening partner, Alex Hales. Hales has smacked 51 runs off just 29 balls, an inning that has included one four and five sixes. As a result, England just requires 78 more runs to win from the remaining 11 overs.
