The dismissal occurred in the 8th over of the innings when Axar Patel delivered a ball down the leg side, deceiving Moeen out of his crease.
Despite Moeen’s attempt to return, he was too far down the pitch as Rishabh Pant broke the stumps. Moeen’s dismissal for 8 off 10 deliveries left England at 46 for 4 while chasing a target of 172.
At the post-match presentation, England skipper Jos Buttler acknowledged that the defending champions allowed India to score too many runs and that India outplayed them in all departments.
What Did Jos Buttler Say?
“India certainly outplayed us. We let them get 20-25 runs too many. It was a challenging surface that they played well on. They outplayed us and fully deserved the win.”
