India Vs England, 1st T20I: Sanju Samson Smashes 22 Runs Off Gus Atkinson's Over - Watch

BY Outlook Sports Desk

His wicket was the start of a record-breaking over from Mahmood, who was included in the England XI for the first time in the series. The right-arm pacer dismissed the in-form Tilak Varma on the very first ball he faced. He finished the over with the wicket of the India captain Suryakumar Yadav, who too could not open his account in the four balls he faced.

With the triple blow, Mahmood became the first bowler to bowl a triple wicket maiden in men's T20Is.

While it was a memorable outing for Mahmood, for Samson it was another forgettable innings. England's hit the deck bowlers have consistently trouble the wicket-keeper batter with short balls and he seems to be struggling to find answers.

In this series, Samson has faced 23 short balls and got out in all four innings in similar fashion. He has scored just 19 runs off these short balls.

Despite the early triple blow, India managed to get 47 runs in the powerplay with Abhishek Sharma and Rinku Singh managing some boundaries.

Hannan Shahid was named the hero of the match for his spectacular double. Pakistan's five goals, which decisively thrashed China in Hulunbuir, have secured their place in the semi-finals of the Asian Champions Trophy 2024, where they join India. This sets up the potential for an India vs. Pakistan final, though the two teams will first face off in their fifth match on Saturday.

One did not realise the enormity of this feat. Harmanpreet is basically a defensive midfielder in footballing parlance and to score 200 goals, is truly a great achievement.

Earlier, England had won the toss and opted to bowl first.
