“Duckett and Livingstone Star as England Keep T20 Series Alive with Win Over India”
Lol
England secured a crucial 26-run victory over India in the third T20 of their five-match series, narrowing the series deficit to 2-1.
Ben Duckett dazzled with a rapid 51 off 28 balls, while Liam Livingstone smashed 43 off 24, including five towering sixes. Despite their efforts, England struggled against Varun Chakravarthy, whose stunning spell of 5 for 24 caused a middle-order collapse, reducing England from 83/1 to 127/8. Late contributions from the lower order helped England post 171/9, their highest score of the series.
England’s bowlers then delivered a commanding performance. Jamie Overton led with 3 for 23, while Jofra Archer and Brydon Carse claimed two wickets each. Adil Rashid was exceptional, removing India’s key batter Tilak Varma with a brilliant delivery.
India’s chase fell short at 145/9, with Hardik Pandya’s valiant effort (two sixes off Wood and Archer) proving insufficient. England’s sharp fielding and disciplined bowling sealed the victory.
This win keeps England alive in the series, with two matches left to play.
