IND Win By 68 Runs | India vs England Highlights of ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Semi-Final: India Register Dominant Victory Over England, to Face South Africa in Final

What a win this is for India! It was a complete all-round performance from Team India, and they march into the final of the T20 World Cup 2024 with South Africa up next. India buried the ghosts of the 2022 T20 World Cup semifinal in some style, defeating England quite comprehensively in the end. Rain threatened to play spoilsport, but the downpour did not impact the contest after a delay in the first innings. India batted first and scored 171/7, a total which indeed was too much for England to chase down. The Indian bowlers made it incredibly tough for England. The defending champions lost wickets at regular intervals, and Indian bowlers did not lose control of the game at any point in time. For India, Axar Patel (3/23) and Kuldeep Yadav (3/19), while Jasprit Bumrah took two. The Indian fielders, too, contributed with two run-outs. England's best batter was Harry Brook, who scored 25 runs. Earlier, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav's 73-run partnership and cameos from Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya helped India post a good total on a tough batting track. This is also the third consecutive ICC final India have reached and they will look to go the distance this time around, with South Africa being the only hurdle to be crossed. 

India have beaten England and they have entered the final! What a commanding performance it has been from India in all three departments! India have returned the favour to England after that loss in the 2022 T20 World Cup semifinal. Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel scalped three apiece while Jasprit Bumrah was exceptional as always.

OUT! One more run out and it is Suryakumar Yadav, who runs out Adil Rashid with a direct hit. 

OUT! Liam Livingstone is run out and England's day keeps getting from bad to worse! Jofra Archer inside-edged the ball and ran. He pulled out after seeing that it was fielded and Livingstone, the non-striker, ran all the way to him and could not make it back. Surely this is it for England now. Liam Livingstone run out (Kuldeep/Axar) 11(16). 

OUT! Kuldeep Yadav has one more wicket to his name and it is Chris Jordan who has to depart. England are falling apart in rather quick time and all their hopes are pinned on Liam Livingstone now with England still needing 100 runs! Chris Jordan lbw b Kuldeep Yadav 1(5)

OUT! Another one bites the dust and it is Harry Brook, who has been outdone by Kuldeep Yadav here! The right-hander had struck a four earlier on off a reverse sweep and tried to play a similar shot  but missed the ball which hit the stumps! England slide into further misery! Harry Brook b Kuldeep Yadav 25(19) 

OUT! England are in all sorts of trouble with Kuldeep Yadav dismissing Sam Curran! The left-hander was struck right in front and despite opting for a DRS, the decision remained the same. India completely on top here.  Sam Curran lbw b Kuldeep Yadav 2(4)

OUT! One more wicket for Axar Patel and he is turning it on here in Guyana! Moeen Ali wanted to flick and left the crease, thinking that the ball went past Rishabh Pant. Instead, the ball fell right next to the stumps and Pant pulls off a quickfire stumping as Ali loses his balance. Moeen Ali st Rishabh Pant b Axar Patel 8(10)

OUT! Axar Patel has his second wicket of the day and it is Jonny Bairstow, who has to depart! The ball skidded on and crashed into the stumps and India are well and truly on top! Jonny Bairstow b Axar Patel 0(3)

OUT! Another wicket falls for England and it is Jasprit Bumrah, who has castled Phil Salt! The slower ball from Bumrah completely deceived Salt whose stumps were disturbed! Another blow for England and India have an edge in this contest! Philip Salt b jasprit Bumrah 5(8)
