England delivered a dominant display to defeat India by 125 runs in the third T20 international at Trent Bridge on Tuesday, securing an unassailable 2-0 lead in the five-match series after the first game was abandoned due to rain. Chasing 202, India collapsed to 76 all out in 11.4 overs, suffering their heaviest defeat by runs in men’s T20Is and their second-lowest total in the format. England reached 201 for 7 after opting to bat, with Philip Salt scoring 70 from 44 balls. Jos Buttler added 32, while Sam Curran finished unbeaten on 41 from 24 deliveries. Prince Yadav took 2 for 30 on debut, and Harshit Rana claimed 2 for 40. In reply, India lost early wickets to Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made 13, but the side lost their first five wickets inside six overs. Tongue finished with 4 for 28, Archer took 3 for 29, and Adil Rashid claimed the final wicket. The result leaves India still seeking their first win since the T20 World Cup, with two matches remaining.
