World Twenty20 cricket: England humbled by India spinners


England fell to their lowest total and heaviest defeat as they lost by 90 runs to India in their final World Twenty20 group match in Colombo.
England had already qualified for the next stage, but their frailties against spin were again exposed as they were bowled out for 80 in 14.4 overs.

Harbhajan Singh (4-12) and Piyush Chawla (2-13) did the damage as seven wickets tumbled for 21 runs.
India had earlier posted 170-4, with Rohit Sharma blazing an unbeaten 55.
Both sides had already secured their place in the Super Eights, but that will be scant consolation to an England side that should be alarmed at the way they capitulated to India's spinners.
