England's bowling attack dismantled India's top order during the middle overs in the Twenty20 International at Old Trafford in Manchester on Saturday.

Indian captain Shreyas Iyer elected to bat first, but his side faced early pressure from England's bowlers.

Key Performances

Opening batsman Abhishek Sharma provided a fast start in the powerplay, scoring 43 runs off 24 deliveries before falling to a full toss from Sam Curran.

Debutant Vaibhav Sooryavanshi became the youngest player to debut for India in international cricket at 15 years and 99 days.

He contributed 14 runs off 10 balls before being stumped by Will Jacks.

Spinner Liam Dawson dismissed Iyer for a short boundary catch after the Indian captain attempted to charge out of his crease against a wide delivery.

This left the middle-order consolidation to Ishan Kishan and Shivam Dube.

England utilized paceman Jofra Archer and spinner Adil Rashid to exploit the substantial bounce and strong wind blowing toward the shorter square boundary.

According to Cricinfo statistics, this caused nine plays and misses in the opening two overs.
