KANPUR, India: Skipper Eoin Morgan’s sublime half-century and a disciplined bowling effort powered England to a comprehensive seven-wicket win against India in the first Twenty20 international in Kanpur on Thursday.
Chasing a modest 148 for victory, England rode on the third-wicket 83-run stand between Morgan (51) and Joe Root (46 not out) to achieve the target with 11 balls to spare.
The visitors lead the three-match series 1-0 with the second T20 scheduled in Nagpur on Sunday.
