England's fast bowlers set a punishing tone, exceeding 90 mph, to inflict a record Twenty20 defeat on India in the third match of the series at Trent Bridge. The victory gives England a commanding 2-0 lead with two matches remaining.
The Indian top order struggled against the sustained high-speed attack, with Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Shreyas Iyer all caught in the deep. A crucial moment came with the dismissal of Sooryavanshi, who had hit two sixes off the bowling of Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue. England's plan to test Sooryavanshi with short bowling proved effective when he gloved a 90 mph bouncer from Archer to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler.
Before the powerplay concluded, Archer also dismissed Tilak Varma, marking the first time India has lost five wickets within the opening six overs of a men's T20 international. The remaining Indian wickets fell quickly, with spinner Adil Rashid taking two wickets, fellow spinner Will Jacks taking one, and Tongue recording his best T20 figures in his second international appearance.
India was dismissed in 70 deliveries, their shortest innings in a T20 international. The match saw a brief moment of confusion when Arshdeep Singh lofted a catch that was almost left by Sam Curran and Jos Buttler, but it was the only notable error by England in the dominant performance.
