England beat India by four wickets in the second T20I at Old Trafford, reaching 191-6 in pursuit of 190-7. Jacob Bethell top-scored with an unbeaten 76 off 46 balls, helping steer the chase and securing victory with an over remaining. The match also featured Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s international debut for India. At 15 years and 99 days, he becomes the youngest ever Indian men’s international and the second youngest across all formats and full member nations, marking a historic moment in Manchester. However, England’s innings—particularly during the 17th over—proved decisive. Sources describe a match-turning spell from Bethell in that over, when England’s chase was accelerated and the result was effectively swung in England’s favour. Despite Sooryavanshi’s appearance grabbing the headline, England’s batting performance, led by Bethell, delivers the win in the second T20I.
