#2 Hit: England’s bowling

England proved how vital it is to play horses-for-courses in a format like T20, as they brought in pacer Jake Ball for Moeen Ali, taking advantage of a pacy and spongy wicket and an oblong shaped stadium with big square boundaries.
Liam Plunkett and David Willey were the picks of bowlers with economies of 4.25 and 4.5, grabbing wickets of KL Rahul and Virat Kohli respectively. Jake ball and Adil Rashid, although went for runs, provided pivotal breakthroughs in the form of Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina.
A collective effort from the English bowlers was conducive in restricting India to a mere total of 148/5.
