England have claimed their maiden T20 series triumph against India after a commanding nine-wicket victory in Bristol. With this result, England hold an unassailable 3-0 advantage in the five-match series, marking a significant milestone as India faces a fifth consecutive defeat in completed T20 encounters.
Chasing a target of 159, captain Harry Brook and Phil Salt dismantled the Indian bowling attack. An unbroken 144-run partnership saw England reach the goal in only 13.5 overs. Brook finished on 79 off 35 balls, while Salt contributed an unbeaten 59 from 42 deliveries.
India, opting to bat first, managed 158-7. Shreyas Iyer provided a lone bright spot with an undefeated 80 from 49 balls, but his colleagues struggled significantly. Jofra Archer proved lethal with the ball, finishing with 2-20 and effectively neutralizing the Indian lineup. The series concludes this Saturday in Southampton, where India aims to avoid an unprecedented winless result in a five-match series.
