But once Duckett was dismissed by Jadeja, England struggled to maintain the momentum, with Root and Liam Livingstone (41) the only other batsmen to make significant contributions. Jadeja’s three wickets helped restrict England to 304 all out in 49.5 overs.
In reply, Sharma and Gill got India off to a flying start, with Sharma in particular taking the attack to the English bowlers. Despite a late flurry of wickets, including Sharma’s dismissal, India’s middle order held firm, with Shreyas Iyer (44) and Rishabh Pant (26) contributing crucial runs to see India over the line with ease.
With this victory, India clinched the series with one match still to play, showcasing their firepower and depth in the batting lineup. England will need to regroup and come back stronger in the final ODI to salvage some pride.
