India did not have Bhuvneshwar Kumar or Jasprit Bumrah but their death bowling was spot on today.

From the final five overs, India conceded only 32 runs and took four wickets. It began with Chahal dismissing Das in the 16th over which eventually went for just four runs.

In the following over, Jaydev Unadkat conceded eight runs and took the wicket of Mehedy Hasan Miraz.

However, the highlight of the death was the 18th over which was brilliantly bowled by Shardul Thakur. He conceded just two runs.

The 19th over was a little expensive as Unadkat conceded a four and a six off Sabbir Rahman but not before dismissing him. Thakur bowled a brilliant final over by conceding just five runs.
