England slump to biggest ever T20 defeat

England post their lowest ever T20 score on their way to losing to India at the World Cup in Sri Lanka.

England were bowled out for just 80 runs during their T20 World Cup encounter against India this evening.

Chasing a victory target of 171 set by the Indians in their innings, England showed a range of weaknesses when batting against spin bowlers.

Harbhajan Singh took 4-12 and Piyush Chawla claimed 2-13 as the defending champions recorded a 90-run win.

Opener Craig Kieswetter top scored for England with 35 runs before he caught by Virat Kohli off the bowling of Chawla.

Jos Buttler (12) and Jade Dernbach (11) were the only other England players to reach double figures.

Despite the loss, England advance through to Super Eights stage along with India.
