IND vs ENG: It was a clinical performance for India in the second semifinal against the defending champion, and they went on to take revenge for the 10-wicket defeat they suffered in the 2022 semifinal. The Indian side went on to thrash England by 68 runs at Providence Stadium in Guyana and made it to their third T20 World Cup final.
It was a good toss to lose for Rohit Sharma, and India batted first. Despite Virat Kohli getting out for yet another low score, India had a crucial 73-partnership for the third wicket between Rohit and Suryakumar Yadav. Rohit scored 57 runs off 39 balls, and Suryakumar scored 47 off 36. In the end, Hardik Pandya (23 off 13) and Ravindra Jadeja (17* off 9) helped India reach an above-par score of 171/7.
It proved to be a massive task for England, as they couldn’t face the Indian spinners. Axar Patel (3/23) and Kuldeep Yadav (3/19) ran through the English batting and helped India win the IND vs ENG semifinal. There were a few notable records broken in this IND vs ENG clash, about which we will talk here.
