While the batsmen managed to put on a par score on the board, the bowlers looked unstoppable as they skittled out the opposition cheaply to hand over a 125-run victory to India. However, a crunch moment from the game has become the centre of many discussions over the past few hours.

India's star opening batsman Rohit Sharma was in sublime touch whilst his stay at the crease. Scoring 18 off 23 balls, including a four and a six, the stylish right-hander looked assured before his innings cut short rather abruptly by a beauty from Kemar Roach.
