"India outplayed us, certainly," England captain Jos Buttler said.<\/p>\n

"We let them maybe get 20-25 too many on a challenging surface that they played well on. They fully deserved to win.<\/p>\n

"Two years on, different conditions, it looks very different. India played the game very well.<\/p>\n

"With the rain around, we didn't think the conditions would change and they didn't – they just outplayed us and got a very good score. I don't think the toss was the difference between us.<\/p>\n

"They've got some fantastic spinners. Our two bowled well but in hindsight, yeah, probably should've bowled Moeen in our innings with the way spin was playing. But with a good score and their brilliant bowling attack it was always going to be a tough chase.<\/p>\n

"With everything that's happened in the tournament I'm really proud of the group's efforts. We can only play who's in front of us.<\/p>\n

"We've had a lot of adversity but we have stuck together really well, we played good cricket in patches but unfortunately came up short when we needed it most."<\/p>\n

Captain Rohit Sharma's (57) second half-century helped India and Suryakumar Yadav also blunted the England pace and spin with a vital knock of 47 off 36 balls after more than two and a half hours of play was lost due to rain and wet outfield.<\/p>\n

Spinners Axar Patel and the Kuldeep Yadav then combined in for 6-42 through some sharp turners as England got bowled out for 103 in 16.3 overs on a skiddy, low pitch devoid of grass to bow out of the tournament.<\/p>\n

Captain Jos Buttler smashed four boundaries in his 23 off 15 balls, but once he top-edged reverse sweep off left-arm spinner Patel's first ball and lobbed a simplest of catches behind the wicket, England kept on losing wickets with regular intervals.<\/p>\n

The win was sweet revenge for India, which got hammered by England by 10 wickets in the 2022 World Cup semi-final in Adelaide.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Sharma and Yadav combined in a 73-run third wicket stand on a wicket where batters struggled to negotiate the variable bounce of pace and spin.<\/p>\n

Virat Kohli's below-par tournament continued after a wet outfield delayed the toss for 80 minutes and Buttler won the toss and elected to field.<\/p>\n

Kohli took his run tally to disappointing 75 runs in seven games with run-a-ball knock of nine before Reece Topley cramped him for a big shot and hit the top of leg stump.<\/p>\n

But Sharma countercharged on a difficult wicket before heavy rain took the players off the field for another 73 minutes when India had reached 2-65 after eight overs.<\/p>\n

Sharma reached his 50 after resumption of play with a swept six over fine leg off Sam Curran, and Yadav hammered the left-arm fast bowler to point for a six before both exited in successive overs.<\/p>\n

Sharma was undone by a googly from Adil Rashid (1-25) in his last over and was clean bowled, while Yadav was deceived by Jofra Archer's slower ball and ballooned a catch to long off.<\/p>\n

Chris Jordan picked up 3-37 that included the wickets of Hardik Pandya (23) and Shivam Dube off successive balls.<\/p>\n
