Ruined by "OVER CONFIDENCE"

                               Ruined by "OVER CONFIDENCE"

With 17 runs required to win of the last over and M S Dhoni at the crease
9 out of 10 times you'll bet on India. But what over confidence can do every
one saw  last when India lost the only twenty-20 match against England by
just 3 runs. Dhoni's decision to face last ball  by not taking run on 5th delivery
 and not giving strike to Ambati Rayadu backfired against India. I am not even
able to remember how many times Dhoni  has  pulled out Indian team and his IPL
team Chennai super kings from similar situations.

No doubt he  created a great chance by hitting a six of the first and boundary of the
fourth ball. But all went in vain when he couldn't clear Chris woakes last ball out of
the park. All the joint efforts of Indian players vanished in just a single ball. Kohli's
magnificent 66 off 41 balls (9 fours , 1 sixes) couldn't helped India to win the  game.
every one  contributed to end this tour on a winning note but couldn't do so. Shikhar
dhawan 33 off 28 (2 fours , 2 sixes) started well but couldn't stretched his innings .


Suresh Raina 25 off 20(1 four , 1 six)  also failed to create an impact on the game. And
M S Dhoni 27 off 18 (2 fours , 1 six) did the rest. India also couldn't restrict England
below 180 and gave lots of runs in the death overs. Only M. shami managed to pick
3 wickets for 38 runs. Mohit sharma , Ravindra jadeja and debutant Karn Sharma picked
1 wicket each .

England's innings main attraction was Morgan's  71 off just 31 balls (3 fours , 7 sixes)
which heeled England to reach 180/7. Ravi Bopara's quickfire 21 off 9 balls in the end
took the game away from India. Alex  hales 40 off 25 (3 fours , 3 sixes ) led the solid
foundation of England's inning.


overall it can be taken as a disappointing performance once again on the soil of England.
Meanwhile  Ajinkya  Rahane created a record of taking maximum catches in a T-2o game
by  taking four catches.
