Analysed 8 Jul 2026·11 sources analysed·Nottingham, United Kingdom·Sports
India Suffers Heaviest T20I Defeat Against England Under Shreyas IyerPreviousNext

India suffered their heaviest T20I defeat, losing by 125 runs to England in the third match of the five-game series at Trent Bridge. Chasing 202, India were bowled out for 76 in 11.4 overs, marking their second-lowest T20I total. Captain Shreyas Iyer described the team's performance as "atrocious" and unacceptable, emphasizing the need to accept the loss and regroup. England's bowlers Josh Tongue and Jofra Archer took seven wickets combined, executing their plans effectively. India remain winless under Iyer's captaincy after five matches, facing calls to adapt and improve in upcoming games.
