#2 Second T20I, England Tour of India 2012-13, Mumbai
This match was just a trailer of the player that Eoin Morgan has developed into right now. Unarguably the closest and most intense T20I match between these two mighty teams, this match was the second and final encounter of the 2-match T20I series, and if the result was any way of measuring the success of the series, then it surely was one blockbuster series.
India had already won the first match, and were entering into this contest with a lot of momentum by their side. Batting first on a cool night in Mumbai, India, on the heels of pivotal knocks by Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina, posted a respectable and defendable total of 177/8 in 20 overs.
England had the perfect start, as Michael Lumb(50 runs) and Alex Hales(42 runs) took their team to 80 in just 8 over. After England lost their second wicket at 94, Eoin Morgan came to the middle of the crease to join Alex Hales. Batting at his best, he took the team to 169/4 in 19 overs. With 3 runs to win at the last ball, Morgan smashed Ashok Dinda for a majestic straight six to seal the match for England and level the series 1-1 for England.
