Tue Jan 28 23:08:16 IST 2025: ## England Wins Thrilling T20 Against India, Takes Series 2-1
**Nottingham, England** – England snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, securing a 26-run win over India in the third and final T20I at Trent Bridge. This win gives England the series 2-1, after a commanding performance that reversed India’s earlier momentum.
India’s impressive bowling performance in the first innings, spearheaded by Varun Chakravarthy’s stunning five-wicket haul (5/24), restricted England to 171/9. Despite Ben Duckett’s explosive 51 off 28 balls, Chakravarthy’s masterful spell, including a well-disguised googly to dismiss Jofra Archer, turned the tide. Liam Livingstone’s late blitz (43 off 24) added some late fire, but it wasn’t enough to reach a truly imposing total. Ravi Bishnoi also contributed, taking 4 wickets but conceding 46 runs.
In response, India’s chase faltered despite Hardik Pandya’s valiant 40. The Indian batting lineup struggled against a disciplined English bowling attack. England’s bowlers consistently kept the pressure on, with wickets falling regularly. Pandya’s efforts proved insufficient as India were bowled out for 145.
The match showcased impressive individual performances on both sides, but England’s superior all-round display ultimately secured the series win. The victory is a significant boost for England, proving their resilience and capability under pressure. The series now concludes with England as the victors.
