India storms in T20 WC finals beating England

India stormed into the final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup after edging past England national cricket team by seven runs in a thrilling semi-final at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.

Batting first after England captain Harry Brook opted to field, India national cricket team produced a batting masterclass, piling up a formidable 253/7 in their 20 overs. The charge was led by Sanju Samson, who hammered a scintillating 89 off just 42 deliveries. His explosive knock, laced with boundaries and towering sixes, set the tone for India’s imposing total, while crucial cameos from the middle order ensured the scoreboard kept racing.

England, however, refused to back down. Youngster Jacob Bethell played a sensational innings, smashing 105 off 48 balls to keep the chase alive deep into the final overs. His fearless strokeplay threatened to turn the match in England’s favour as the required run rate remained within reach.

But India’s bowlers held their nerve when it mattered most. Tight death bowling from Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh, along with a brilliant fielding effort from Axar Patel, ensured India sealed a dramatic seven-run victory.

With the win, India booked their place in the final, where they will face New Zealand national cricket team on Sunday in a high-stakes title clash.
