In a riveting match at Providence Stadium in Guyana, India emerged victorious over defending champions England in the T20 World Cup semi-final. This win sets up an enthralling final showdown against South Africa on Saturday.
India got off to a rocky start as they batted first on a challenging surface and only managed to post a competitive total of 171 for seven. However, their captain Rohit Sharma’s contribution of 57 runs and Suryakumar Yadav’s 47 were critical in setting up India’s score. Despite some interruptions caused by rain, Rohit and Suryakumar steadied the innings with their solid batting display.
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 lineup, 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.
Fans eagerly await the upcoming championship match between India and South Africa in Barbados, where two powerhouse teams will clash in T20 cricket. With South Africa already securing their place in the final, it promises to be an exciting showdown between two of the best teams in the world.
