Ind Vs Eng: 'Baz said play like Sehwag' — an England win that felt like the good times

ind vs eng appeared in many conversations after England produced a late rally to beat New Zealand in Colombo in the T20 World Cup, a victory that felt like the good times as Jacks and Rehan Ahmed combined to drag the chase back from the brink.

How Jacks and Ahmed turned 43 from 19 into a win

England looked in trouble with 43 required from 19 balls, but Ahmed emerged and hit his second delivery for six over long-on to reignite the chase. Jacks struck Glenn Phillips for a six and followed with two fours, then Ahmed effectively sealed the result by hitting Mitchell Santner over the rope at long-off.

Ind Vs Eng echoes after a comeback built on youthful promise

The partnership read like a snapshot of a recent England story: two 20-somethings producing in a pressure finish. Both Jacks and Ahmed were among the early products of the Bazball era — they made their Test debuts on England's 2022 tour of Pakistan. Jacks took six wickets in his first match, while Ahmed took five and became the youngest man to play Test cricket for England.

From near-defeat to a fifth successive win

From staring at a momentum-busting defeat, England secured a fifth successive win to take with them going forward. The late hitting — anchored by Ahmed's six and Jacks' quick boundaries — turned a tense finish into a dramatic victory in Colombo during the T20 World Cup.

Ahmed later said Baz had sent down a walkie-talkie message telling team staff to "tell Reh to bat like Sehwag, " a remark that underlined the simple, aggressive instruction that changed the chase. The win over New Zealand in Colombo added another chapter to England's tournament run and gave their young hitters a memorable finish to the match.
