England capped off a stellar series with a thumping 9-wicket win over India in the decisive fifth Mixed Disability T20 match in Jaipur. The 4-1 series victory came on Friday, powered by sharp bowling and ruthless chasing.
India’s innings never took off. Batting first, they lost Wasim Iqbal early and couldn’t build partnerships beyond the second wicket. Akash Singh’s 51 (43 balls, 4×4, 2×6) alongside captain Ravindra Sante’s 33 (26 balls) yielded 60 runs, reaching 82. Nanda managed 19, but rapid dismissals saw them bowled out for 125 in 19.2 overs.
England’s attack shone bright: Farooq Mohammad bagged 3 wickets, while Henry Wenman and Angus Brown grabbed 2 each. Their control stifled any Indian momentum.
In reply, John Gale’s steady unbeaten 53 off 36 balls laid the foundation. Wicketkeeper Angus Gallant Brown then unleashed mayhem, racing to 62 off 34 balls with 5 boundaries and 5 maximums, pressuring bowlers relentlessly.
India snared one wicket at 102, but unbeaten Josh Price guided England past the line in 12.4 overs. With overs to spare, this performance exemplifies England’s tactical edge and resilience in the Mixed Disability format, marking a memorable tour end.
