IND vs ENG: In the semi-finals of ICC T20 World Cup 2026, India has made it to the finals by defeating England by 7 runs in a very exciting match. The defending champion Indian team has performed brilliantly and entered the finals for the second consecutive time. In this match played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, India batted first and put a big score of 253 runs on the board.
While chasing such a big target, the England team also gave a tough fight. In particular, Jacob Bethel took the team close to victory by scoring a brilliant century, but due to the poor performance of some important players of England, the team could not achieve victory.
Phil Salt again could not get a good start
The team was expecting a fast start from England’s opener Phil Salt, but he disappointed once again. Salt returned to the pavilion after scoring 5 runs in just 3 balls. While chasing such a big target, England needed a strong start, which they could not get.
Captain Harry Brook’s bat also remained silent
There were a lot of expectations from England captain Harry Brook in this match. But he also failed to play big innings. Brook became the victim of Jasprit Bumrah after scoring only 7 runs in 6 balls. The team came under pressure due to the early dismissal of the captain.
Joffra Archer’s bowling was expensive
This match was also not good for fast bowler Joffra Archer. He spent 61 runs in his 4 overs and could take only one wicket. Indian batsmen scored runs freely on their balls, due to which the score became very big.
Even Sam Karan could not show any effect
All-rounder Sam Curran also could not leave much impact in this match. In bowling, he gave away 53 runs in 4 overs and did not get a single success. While batting, he definitely scored 18 runs, but he could not leave anything special.
Jos Buttler’s innings also did not work
England’s star batsman Jos Buttler scored 25 runs in 17 balls, but a big innings was expected from him. Butler, who often wins matches in big matches, could not lead the team to victory this time.
The effect of the weak performance of these players was that even Jacob Bethel’s brilliant century could not lead England to victory. India won the match by bowling brilliantly in the last overs and secured a place in the finals.
