After the shameful defeat, England captain Jos Buttler said that Team India deserved this victory.
Jos Buttler said after the match, “India definitely performed better than us. We let them score 20-25 runs more. It was a challenging pitch on which they played well. They performed better than us and they fully deserved the win. The conditions here were very different than in the year 2022. India played a very good game of cricket. Due to rain, the conditions were not expected to change so much. Their score was better than average. Their best spinners bowled brilliantly.”
Let us tell you that while chasing the target of 171 runs, England’s team could not face the Indian spinners in these difficult conditions.
