England`s Flynn Shines Amid Champions Trophy Action

England's Men's Physically Disabled cricket team has made a notable start in the Physically Disabled Champions Trophy held in Sri Lanka. The team has played two matches so far, securing one victory and suffering one defeat. Their opening game was against the host nation, Sri Lanka, where England triumphed in a rain-affected six-over match, winning by seven wickets.

In their second match, England faced a challenging opponent in India. India set a formidable target of 191 runs in 20 overs, with Rajesh Kannur achieving a remarkable century, scoring 100 runs. Ravindra Sante also contributed significantly with a quickfire 45 runs off just 24 balls. England's Will Flynn showcased his batting prowess, scoring 87 runs off 41 balls, including eight sixes, but despite his efforts, the team fell short, finishing with 162 runs. India's bowlers, particularly Ravindra Sante, played a crucial role in restricting England's scoring, with impressive bowling figures of 2 for 24.

Following these matches, India leads the tournament standings with a perfect record, while England sits in second place with one win and one loss. England's captain, Callum Flynn, expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance, particularly highlighting the victory against Sri Lanka and Will Flynn's strong batting display against India. Looking ahead, England is scheduled to play two more matches against Pakistan and Sri Lanka on January 15 and 16, respectively.
