India defeated England, the reigning champions, by 68 runs in Thursday’s second semi-final match at Providence Stadium, securing their place in the T20 World Cup final with a dominant display.
The Men in Blue, led by skipper Rohit Sharma, made it to their first final appearance in ten years, paving the way for a matchup with South Africa on Saturday in Barbados. India’s triumph represented a dramatic comeback from their 10-wicket loss to England in the previous T20 World Cup semi-final.
India, batting first, amassed a respectable 171 runs as their spinners took advantage of a slow wicket to demolish England’s batting order. Jasprit Bumrah made two significant contributions to the wickets, while Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel combined for six wickets. England was bowled out in 16.4 overs after struggling to only score 103 runs throughout their innings.
