England beat India by four wickets in the second T20I at Old Trafford, with Jacob Bethell making an unbeaten 76 off 46 balls to steer the chase. India post 190 for 7 in their innings, setting England a target of 191. England reach 191 for 6 with an over to spare, completing the win with four wickets remaining.
The match also features Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who makes a historic India men’s T20I debut at 15 years old and 99 days, becoming the youngest in India’s men’s international cricket and among the youngest debutants across all formats and full member nations. Multiple reports describe him as a headline presence but only a bit-part during the game.
Overall, the sources agree that while Sooryavanshi’s debut generates attention, Bethell’s batting—particularly during England’s middle-overs push—decisively shapes the result and secures victory for England in the Manchester fixture.
