Please tell that the final match of the 2013 Champion Trophy was played for 20-20 overs due to rain. After the first play, India had scored only 129 runs for seven wickets in 20 overs. Looking at the England batting, this target seemed dwarf, but Honi had something else in mind.
Chasing the target of 130 runs, England got off to a very poor start. In the 9th over, England had lost their four important wickets on the score of just 46. During this, Sir Alastair Cook 02, Ian Bell 13, Jonathan Trott 20 and Joe Root had returned to the pavilion after scoring 07 runs.
