Cardiff (July 07, 2018): Alex Hales’ unbeaten 58 took England to a dramatic win over India in the second T-20 international. Hales made 58 runs from 41 balls with four-fours and three-sixes.
England’s bowlers adapted well to the dimensions of the Cardiff ground to restrict Indian team, to 148-5.
Chasing 149, England slipped to 44-3, but Hales led a recovery that left them needing 12 from the final over.
He then hit Bhuvneshwar Kumar for six, then four, with David Willey scoring the winning runs to level the series and set up a decider in Bristol on Sunday.
The runs that kept the series alive! 😍
