Ind vs Eng 2nd T20 Match Highlights: In an exciting T20 encounter, India chased down a target of 166 set by England, securing a dramatic 2-wicket victory with just 4 balls remaining. England, batting first, posted a challenging total of 165/9 in their allotted 20 overs, with Jos Buttler leading the charge with a quickfire 45 off 30 balls, including two boundaries and three sixes. Contributions from Brydon Carse (31) and Harry Brook (13) were also vital, but the England innings faltered after a series of wickets fell in the middle overs.
Arshdeep Singh (1/40) was the standout bowler for India, dismissing Phil Salt early, while Washington Sundar (1/9) claimed Ben Duckett’s wicket. Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel claimed key wickets, with Patel picking up two wickets for 32 runs in his four overs.
Chasing 166, India’s opening pair struggled early on, with both Sanju Samson (5) and Abhishek Sharma (12) falling quickly. But a remarkable 72-run partnership from Tilak Varma (72 not out) and Washington Sundar (26) brought India back into the game. Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, including Suryakumar Yadav (12) and Hardik Pandya (7), India managed to stay ahead in the race.
England’s bowlers, including Jofra Archer (1/60) and Mark Wood (1/28), tried to break India’s momentum, but Varma held his nerve, guiding India to victory. In the end, Ravi Bishnoi’s 9* off 5 balls helped secure the win with 4 balls to spare.
England’s bowlers did their best, but India’s relentless chase saw them through to victory, winning by 2 wickets and securing the win with 166/8 in 19.2 overs. India now looks forward to their next clash as the series continues to heat up.

The Chepauk pitch has traditionally been known for favouring spinners, with its slow nature often making stroke play difficult. However, recent IPL matches have seen more batting-friendly conditions, raising the possibility of a high-scoring game if a new surface is used. India’s spin trio—Varun Chakravarthy, Axar Patel, and Ravi Bishnoi—could thrive in these conditions, while England will rely on seasoned players like Adil Rashid and Liam Livingstone to shift the momentum in their favour.
