India struck first in the opening game at Edgbaston. England decided to bat but were bowled out for 258. Axar Patel was the standout bowler, picking up four crucial wickets to keep the scoring in check. India chased down the total comfortably to win by six wickets. Shubman Gill led the charge with a solid 80 before he had to retire hurt with cramps. Shreyas Iyer provided great support, and Axar capped off a brilliant all-round performance by scoring a fifty to safely guide India over the finish line.

England bounced back hard in the second match at Cardiff. India batted first this time but could only manage 233.

Virat Kohli made 65 and Shreyas Iyer hit 66, but the rest of the lineup collapsed. Jofra Archer did the main damage, taking three key wickets in his second spell. Defending a small total, the Indian bowlers grabbed a few early wickets to put England under pressure. However, Joe Root stepped up and anchored the chase beautifully, remaining unbeaten on 99 to take England home with a four-wicket win.
