India Chase got to a disastrous beginning and lost the first three goals for just five runs. They were further reduced to 92/6 than Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni caused hope with a 116-Run partnership.
The match slipped from Indian understanding when Dhoni was moved in the final stages. India was eventually tilted to 221 at 49.3 overs, which did not reach 18 runs.
“2019 was also massive. That was the first time, actually, after the semifinals we got and we left Manchester next morning. You know when you wake up and have no understanding of what you want to do. Like you are dazed.
“I had no idea what I wanted to do if I wanted to drink coffee, brush my teeth. Like, what is the next step? As I was completely gone. I couldn’t understand it.”
“Everything was fine. We had to play in the afternoon and it was raining, and then we had to come next morning. Early morning conditions, that, and others.
