Rohit Sharma added that the Indian cricket team did not have enough time to plan for the match that was reduced to a 20-overs-a-side game. England won the toss and invited India to bat first.

Hosts England started as the favorites to win and were 110/4 in 17.2 overs. However, Ishant Sharma turned the match around with two wickets in two balls, and Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin defended 19 runs off the last two overs to guide India home.
