England pacer Jofra Archer stated bowling first on the two-paced Motera monitor gave them a little bit of a bonus as they exploited the circumstances early to beat India by eight wickets within the series-opening T20I right here on Friday.
Returning from an elbow damage, Archer led England’s bowling assault with three for 23 runs as they restricted India to 124 for 7 in 20 overs after skipper Eoin Morgan received the toss and elected to bowl first.

“I was excited to bowl first because there was a bit of dew when we trained the other night …. getting on top of the conditions gave us a little bit of an advantage. It was a very good team performance on a slow wicket,” Archer advised reporters on the post-match interplay.
India misplaced three early wickets, together with that of skipper Virat Kohli, who continued his poor type from the Test collection after being dismissed for an additional duck.

“He is a dangerous batter. To see him back early in the innings so many times is a bonus. It’s kind of a dampener in their camp obviously being the leader of the side they expected him to score some runs. So it was some advantage to get him early,” Archer stated.
The collection is seen as a construct as much as the T20 World Cup slated in India later this yr however Archer stated they aren’t wanting too far forward.
“It’s just the first game of the series. We still have four games to go. They are number two in the world for a reason,” he stated.
The second T20I is slated right here on Sunday.
