Asked to bat first, India had a solid start with the bat as Sanju Samson (16) along with Abhishek Sharma (135) added 21 runs inside two overs. But after the opening wicket, it was all about Abhishek as he slammed a brutal century and registered the highest individual score for India in T20Is.
The left-hander slammed England bowlers all over the park and stole all the limelight. He was supported well by Tilak Varma (24) first, who added 115 runs partnership with the opening batter to put the Jos Buttler-led on the backfoot.
After Tilak got out, Shivam Dube (30) came up with a brutal hand as well and dominated the 37-run partnership with Abhishek. Based on the collective effort with the bat, the India National Cricket Team posted a massive total of 247 for nine.

Mohammed Shami was the pick of the bowlers for the India National Cricket Team as he picked three wickets while Varun Chakravarthy, Shivam Dube, and Abhishek Sharma picked two wickets each as Suryakumar Yadav-led side won the game by 150 runs.
