The T20 series between India and England may be decided in Pune but still a lot in Mumbai was at stake and it started in the first over of the match. In the first over of this match being held at Wankhede Stadium, there was a whole struggle between Team India's star opener Sanju Samson and England's stormy bowler Jofra Archer, in which the initial Baji Samson killed and hit a six as soon as he came.

In this match, England captain Jose Butler won the toss and decided to bowl first. In such a situation, the eyes were on the collision of Samson and Archer. In the first, second and third matches of the series, Archer made Sanju Samson his victim. The way to get out was also the same. Each time Samson lost his wicket by playing a bridge shot on the short ball. Even in the fourth match, he was out on such ball, just the bowler was different.

A strong collision between Samson-Murcher

In such a situation, the eyes in the last match of the series were on how this time Samson faces short balls attack. As expected, Archer put the first over and he tried the bouncer as soon as he came. This time the difference was that Samson was ready and he came out of the off stump and gave the bridge shot. The ball went directly outside the deep square leg boundary for 6 runs and the noise increased in the stadium.

It was decided from here that the competition is going to be very tough and that's what happened. Archer increased the pace in both the next two balls and then scored a short ball. Its impact was also shown on the third ball, which came at a speed of about 148 kilometers per hour and the finger of Samson directly felt loud. Samson groaned with pain and the physio had to come down on the field and reduce their pain. After some time the match started again and then Samson hit another bridge shot and then ended the over with a fours.

Then short ball hunted

But this attack of Samson did not last long because once again the short ball proved to be a time for him. This time Mark Wood hunted him. Wood, who came in the second over, kept the short ball and again Samson hit the bridge shot. The only difference was that this time the fielder was stationed on the square leg boundary and he ended Samson's innings with a catch. In this way, Samson fell victim to short balls in the five matches of the series.
