More about IND vs ENG T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal
Powered by Rohit Sharma's half-century and Suryakumar Yadav’s 47-run, India posted 171 runs for wickets in 20 overs. Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja also made useful contributions. While the former is credited with having pulled in mighty sixes, the latter's 17 runs contributed to the team's overall score.
Coming to England, it was only Jos Buttler (23), Harry Brook (25), and Jofra Archer (21) who could score some runs and strengthen their team. But at the same time, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel made it challenging for them to become consistent on the pitch. Both the Indian bowlers took three wickets each and delighted fans with their amazing spells.
Further, Jasprit Bumrah did his bit and took two wickets. England lost five wickets at the halfway stage and failed to recover. So, while the team needed 172 runs to reach the finals, their batters could not set up the required partnership.
On the other hand, England's Chris Jordan took three wickets. Reece Topley, Jofra Archer, Sam Curran and Adil Rashid picked one wicket each. Following the win, India will meet South Africa in the final in Barbados on Saturday (June 29).
