Dismal performance! England shows India exit path from T20 World Cup

way2barak, Nov.10: Jos Buttler and Alex Hales forged an unbeaten stand to take the side to a 10-wicket win against India, and secure a place in the final of the T20 World Cup. Despite India setting up a defendable score, the England opening batters were unstoppable and completed the target with four overs to spare. With this embarrassing defeat, Team India’s journey in the T20 World Cup has come to an end, leaving millions of Indian cricket fans heartbroken.

It was Hardik Pandya, who revelled in the role of a finisher with a sensational 63 off 33 balls, while Kohli also scored an important 50 off 40 deliveries to help take India’s score to 168/6. Chasing a 169-run target, England openers Buttler (80*) and Alex Hales (86*) forged a record 170-run partnership for the first wicket, as the side thrashed the men in blue by 10 wickets at the Adelaide Oval.

From jibes at Indian team’s performance to a collective atmosphere of grief echoing the mood of the nation, memes on Twitter say it all. One of the sulking fans was industrialist Anand Mahindra and he expressed it on Twitter. “It’s not the losing that hurts, but the manner of losing… The shifting winds of sport can be cruel… Well, we’ll look at it as just another opportunity to Rise…,” Mahindra tweeted with a scorecard of the match.

It’s not the losing that hurts, but the manner of losing…
The shifting winds of sport can be cruel…
Well, we’ll look at it as just another opportunity to Rise… https://t.co/TwQGtBX0Sq
