Indians go 1-0 up on the back of a strong performance from Hardik Pandya India scored 198 for 8 and then dismantled England with 51 off 33 runs from him

England were out for 148 (Moeen 36, Hardik 4-33) by 50 runs as India passed England on 198 for 8 (Hardik 51, Suryakumar 39, Hooda 33)

India's gruesome post-mortem at the T20 World Cup last year revealed a simple diagnosis: a fully fit Hardik Pandya makes a completely different middle order.

Hardik faced 45 balls during the World Cup and bowled only four overs due to back and shoulder injuries. India won by 50 runs at the Ageas Bowl on Thursday night due to his batting.

After scoring 51 off 33 as India racked up 198 for 8, he finished with 4 for 33, taking three wickets with the new ball to destroy England's top order.
