At Providence Stadium in Guyana, India emerged victorious with a convincing 68-run win over defending champions England in the T20 World Cup semi-final. This win sets up an enthralling final clash against South Africa scheduled for Saturday.
India batted first on a challenging surface and managed to post a competitive total of 171 for seven. Captain Rohit Sharma’s contribution of 57 runs and Suryakumar Yadav’s 47 were crucial in setting up India’s score. England’s chase never gained momentum as they were ultimately bowled out for just 103 runs in the 17th over. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav wreaked havoc on England’s batting line-up, claiming three wickets each.
The match faced a delayed start due to rain, and England captain Jos Buttler chose to field first after winning the toss. India started strong, scoring 46 runs in the power-play overs but losing the wickets of Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant along the way. Rohit and Suryakumar steadied the innings with their solid batting display, despite the interruptions caused by rain.
India’s bowlers, especially Axar Patel, turned the game in their favor as England’s top-order collapsed early in the chase. Axar’s early wickets put immense pressure on England, leaving them struggling at 49-5. Kuldeep Yadav also played a crucial role, picking up three wickets to seal India’s victory.
South Africa has already secured their place in the final, so fans eagerly await the clash between India and South Africa in the upcoming championship match in Barbados. The stage is set for an exciting showdown between two powerhouse teams in T20 cricket.
