2nd T20I: Tilak’s 72 Not Out Carries India To Thrilling Two-wicket Win Over England (ld)
After restricting England to 165/5 in an innings where 14 overs were bowled by spinners, the joint second-most their slower bowlers have bowled in a men’s T20I game. India were quick off the blocks but were soon reduced to 78/5, thanks to the visitors’ bowlers taking scalps with absolute rockets on the pitch which gave them enough help to execute their plans and the skipper being proactive with his plans.
Tilak, who had a blazing start to his knock by then, switched his batting gear and handled the pressure well to get his first T20I fifty in India, which he didn’t celebrate. By using the pace of England’s bowlers to take the majority of his runs in behind the square region, the batter from Andhra Pradesh showcased his remarkable temperament by keeping calm and batting with the tail-enders for company, while farming the strike on certain occasions.
