Post-Match Analysis
India’s balance in all departments—batting depth, quality spin, and deadly pace—proved too much for England. The hosts paced their innings smartly, saving energy for the final onslaught. In contrast, England’s middle-order faltered under pressure despite a strong start.
While England showed promise, especially through Bairstow and Livingstone, they couldn’t convert starts into match-winning contributions. India, meanwhile, once again showed why they’re formidable in home conditions (or adapted well if played overseas).
