The first T20I between the Indian cricket team and England got abandoned without a result due to rain, despite India’s batters putting on a strong display in the series opener in Chester-le-Street. In contrast to his decision to field both times in the Ireland T20Is, India captain Shreyas Iyer chose to bat first. However, opener Sanju Samson and No. 3 Ishan Kishan were dismissed in the second over itself, giving the tourists early shocks. Abhishek Sharma then quickly scored a century by showering the Riverside Ground boundary with exciting strokes. Before all-rounder Shivam Dube’s lightning-fast 21-ball 42* helped India reach 189/7 in 20 overs, captain Iyer also contributed a strong half-century.
The weather prevented England from beginning their chase. The second game of the five-match series between the two sides will now take place. Both teams would be eager to put on their best foot forward and take 1-0 lead in the series.
