Men’s ODI WC: Rohit Top-scores With 87, Suryakumar Makes 49 As India Post 229/9 Against England
BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium: Captain Rohit Sharma top-scored for India with 87 from 101 balls on a two-paced pitch while Suryakumar Yadav made a crucial 49 at the back-end as the hosts huffed and puffed to post 229/9 against England in their Men’s ODI World Cup clash at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
Pushed into batting first on a pitch which gave bowlers some help, India were 40/3 inside 12 overs before Rohit pulled them out of trouble and held the innings together with a knock laced with ten fours and three sixes, while adding 91 runs for the fourth wicket with K.L. Rahul.
After the duo fell, Suryakumar Yadav hit four boundaries and a six to get India to a respectable total which looked difficult at one point. For England, who were tight in their fielding and built dot-ball pressure in the first Power-play, David Willey stood out with 3-45 while Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid took two scalps each in a top bowling performance.
