Electing to bat, India, considered as title favourites, posted 180 for 7 in their allotted 20 overs in the final on Tuesday. Middle-order batsman R.G. Sante was the chief contributor to the total as he scored 53 off 34 balls.

Opener K.D. Phanase (36), Vikrant Keni (29) and S. Mahendran (33) also chipped in with valuable contributions.

However, India chipped in with regular wickets from thereafter and restricted England to 144 for 9 to clinch the title.

On Wednesday, BCCI took to Twitter to congratulate the achievement of the team. “India defeat England by 36 runs in the final to clinch Physical Disability World Cricket Series 2019,” the board wrote.
