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, whoĀ 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.Ā

England have injected some momentum into this innings with Jos Buttler hitting a three fours off Arshdeep Singh's bowling in the third over. Arshdeep did find swing in the first ball and it remains to be seen if Rohit continues with him inside the powerplay.Ā

IndaIndia have managed 171/7 runs on a track which is not very easy to bat on. Powered by Rohit Sharma's fifty, SKY's 47 and cameos from Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja, the Men in Blue have managed to post a total which will be tough to chase, especially with the uneven bounce on this pitch. England would back themselves to get these runs but it would be far from easy against an in-form Indian bowling attack, led by Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav.Ā
