Sat Jan 25 23:29:42 IST 2025: ## India Edges Past England in Thrilling Chennai T20I
**Chennai, India:** India secured a nail-biting two-wicket victory over England in the second T20I at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, thanks to a stunning unbeaten 72 from Tilak Varma. Chasing 166, India’s chase was far from smooth, losing wickets at regular intervals. However, Varma’s composed 55-ball innings, featuring four fours and five sixes, steered the hosts to victory.
England, invited to bat first, managed a competitive 165/9. Jos Buttler continued his impressive form with a 30-ball 45, while Brydon Carse provided a crucial late-innings cameo of 31 from 17 balls. However, a lack of substantial contributions from other batsmen hampered their total. Axar Patel and Varun Chakravarthy led India’s bowling attack, claiming two wickets each. The series now stands at 1-1.
