Chasing 171 to level the series, England's openers could not provide an aggressive start like Rishabh Pant and Rohit. The duo of Jason Roy and Jos Buttler added a total of four runs to the team's total. While Roy departed to the dressing room on the first ball of the innings, Buttler lost his wicket soon after.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar dismissed both England openers in the powerplay overs. India eventually won the game by 49 runs.
