England vs India 2018, 2nd T20I: Hits and Misses

#1 Hit: England middle-order

Alex Hales was awarded the man of the match for his unbeaten 58 from 41 balls

The experienced batsmen took their time at the crease and even played a few dot balls when Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal were bowling.

Despite that, they didn’t let the run-rate get out of control. Time and again, they played a big shot and got the required runs. Maybe the services of Merlyn - a machine used to counter the wrist-spin - has proved to be effective.

Unlike last time, the English middle-order performed much better and helped the team get through. England was in a spot of bother at 44-3 when skipper Eoin Morgan and Alex Hales were given the responsibility to rebuild the innings.

Morgan's 17 from 19 balls was followed by a quick-fire 28 from 18 balls by Jonny Bairstow.

Hales remained unbeaten with his match-winning innings of 58 runs from 41 balls. Hales saw the team through and was awarded the man of the match for his efforts.
