Indian cricket team has touched another low, losing back-to-back T20I series after winning the World Cup in March this year. India arrived in Bristol needing a win to keep the series alive. Shreyas Iyer stood firm with an unbeaten 80, but support was scarce as India finished on 158 for seven.
England then turned the chase into a sprint. After losing one early wicket, Phil Salt and captain Harry Brook took complete control, adding an unbeaten 146 runs. Brook smashed 79 from 35 balls, while Salt made 59 from 42.
England reached the target in only 13.5 overs, winning by nine wickets and sealing their historic first T20 series victory over India. For India, it was another painful, one-sided evening. Read more

France had to wait, but once Kylian Mbappé found his moment, Morocco’s resistance finally cracked. After seeing a first-half penalty saved by Yassine Bounou, Mbappé returned in the 60th minute with a curling finish that changed the mood in Boston. Six minutes later, Ousmane Dembélé drove home the second, and France suddenly looked completely in control.
Morocco, carrying Africa’s last hope in the tournament, never found the attacking spark that had powered their run. France closed out a 2-0 win, reached a third straight World Cup semifinal, and moved one step closer to another shot at the biggest trophy again. Game Review
