Friday’s final Mixed Disability T20 in Jaipur ended in heartbreak for India as England romped to a 9-wicket victory, securing the series 4-1. The match exposed India’s batting woes against England’s all-round prowess.
India batted first but crumbled under pressure. Early loss of Wasim Iqbal led to struggles, salvaged briefly by Akash Singh and captain Ravindra Sante’s 60-run alliance for the second wicket, getting to 82. Singh departed for 51 (43 balls, inc. 4 fours, 2 sixes), Sante for 33 (26), and Nanda for 19. The rest folded quickly, all out 125 in 19.2 overs.
Bowling honors went to Farooq Mohammad (3 wickets), with Henry Wenman and Angus Brown (2 each) tightening the screws effectively.
England’s pursuit was clinical. John Gale’s unbeaten 53 (36 balls) offered stability, but Angus Gallant Brown’s 62 (34 balls, 5×4, 5×6) was the game-changer, dismantling the attack. India took the lone wicket at 102 (Brown), but Josh Price finished unbeaten.
Target overhauled in 12.4 overs, England celebrated with overs left. This lopsided finale underscores their series mastery, prompting India to regroup for upcoming challenges in disability cricket.
