England secured a four-wicket victory against India in the second T20I at Old Trafford, Manchester. Jacob Bethell starred with an unbeaten 76 off 46 balls, steering England to the target of 191 with an over remaining. The chase began shakily with both openers dismissed for ducks, but Bethell, supported by Harry Brook and Tom Banton, anchored the innings effectively.
Despite India posting a competitive 190 for seven, featuring Abhishek Sharma's 43 and Ishan Kishan's 49, their bowling efforts were hampered by costly overs. Ravi Bishnoi conceded 29 runs in the 17th over, significantly impacting India's control.
