India unleash a batting masterclass – At the toss, Suryakumar Yadav said he was happy to bat first, believing runs on the board are gold in a knockout game. By the end of the innings, India had piled up a mountain. Sanju Samson was the chief architect of the carnage. Dropped by Harry Brook on 15, he made England pay dearly, launching a brutal counterattack that turned into a dazzling 89 off just 42 balls. He first stitched together a 97 run stand with Ishan Kishan to lay the platform before continuing the charge alongside Shivam Dube, ensuring the momentum never dipped. There was useful support all around as Kishan, Dube and Hardik Pandya kept the scoring rate flying, pushing India to a formidable 253 with only four overs going for single digits in the entire innings. England, meanwhile, had a forgettable outing with the ball on what looked like a batting paradise. Their two of the most trustworthy bowlers, Jofra Archer leaked 61 while Adil Rashid conceded 41 despite picking up two wickets. Will Jacks managed to break a couple of partnerships, but overall, the wickets never came in clusters and India made sure the punishment kept coming.
