India vs England 2nd T20I Live Cricket Score Updates: Shreyas Iyer’s India will take on Harry Brook’s England in match two of the five-match series on Saturday at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester. The first game between the sides ended as a no-result due to the rain.
After the mauling the Indian side took in Ireland, the batting seemed to take a more pragmatic approach in the first game, with Shreyas Iyer anchoring in the middle after Abhishek Sharma played a blistering knock at the top of the order.
The bowling could not be exposed as the rain had its say. England, on the other hand, bowled decently. Saqib Mahmood was the pick of the bowlers, taking three wickets. Sam Curran and Adil Rashid also chipped in with a couple of crucial wickets at the crucial junctures of the game.
