England beat India by 26 runs in the 3rd T20I at Rajkot to keep the T20I series alive. England posted 177/9, with Ben Duckett scoring a vital 51, while Varun Chakravarthy took 5/24 to dismantle the English middle order. India, chasing 178, struggled against England’s pace attack, with Jofra Archer, Brydon Carse, and Jamie Overton sharing seven wickets. Adil Rashid’s brilliant spell, including the key wicket of Tilak Varma, further choked India’s progress. Hardik Pandya’s 40 and Axar Patel’s late efforts weren’t enough, as India was restricted to145/9 in 20 overs to hand England the first win of the series. England’s disciplined bowling and Rashid’s mastery sealed India’s first home defeat in T20Is since November 2023.
