India Suffer Biggest-Ever T20I Defeat as England Win by 125 Runs

England delivered a dominant all-round display to defeat India by 125 runs in the third T20I at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the five-match series after the opening match was washed out.

Batting first, England posted a formidable 201/7 in 20 overs, powered by Phil Salt's 70 off 44 balls. The opener laid the foundation with an aggressive knock before Sam Curran provided the finishing flourish with an unbeaten 41 off 24 deliveries. Captain Jos Buttler also contributed 36 as England crossed the 200-run mark despite losing wickets in the middle overs.

For India, debutant Prince Yadav impressed with figures of 2/30, dismissing Harry Brook and Salt, while the visitors also effected three run-outs.

India collapse for 76

Chasing 202, India's batting lineup crumbled under relentless pressure from England's pace attack and was bowled out for just 76 in 11.4 overs, registering one of its heaviest defeats in T20I cricket.

Josh Tongue starred with 4/28, while Jofra Archer claimed 3/29 and Adil Rashid picked up 2/14, as England never allowed India to recover after early wickets.

England seal series

The emphatic victory gives England an unassailable 2-0 lead in the five-match series, with only two matches remaining. As a result, the hosts have already sealed the series, while India will now look to avoid a heavier margin of defeat in the remaining fixtures.
