India Dominates England in First T20 International with Seven-Wicket Victory



January 22, 2025

In a commanding performance at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India secured a seven-wicket win over England in the opening match of the five-game T20 International series. Opting to bat first, England faced early setbacks due to India's disciplined bowling attack. Captain Jos Buttler stood out with a resilient 68 runs off 44 balls, but lacked substantial support from his teammates. The visitors were eventually bowled out for 132 runs.

India's chase was spearheaded by opener Abhishek Sharma, who delivered an explosive 79 runs from just 34 deliveries, featuring eight sixes and five fours. His aggressive approach ensured India reached the target comfortably in just 12.5 overs, finishing at 133 for 3. Sanju Samson contributed with a quick 26 runs, bolstering the successful pursuit.

The victory highlights India's current dominance in T20 cricket, marking their 14th win in the last 16 matches since clinching the T20 World Cup. The second match of the series is scheduled for Sunday in Chennai, where England will aim to bounce back and level the series.
