In a run fest, India survived a stellar century from Jacob Bethell to reach yet another T20 World Cup final. Surya & Co won by 7 runs, thanks to a herculean effort from Sanju Samson at the top, backed by Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. India will now face New Zealand in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday, March 8.
Defending champions India held their nerves to beat England by seven runs and set up a final clash with New Zealand in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
Sanju Samson blazed his way to 89 in 42 balls, powering India to 253 for 7 at the Wankhede Stadium here on Thursday. Jacob Bethell kept England in the hunt with a blistering knock of 105 runs in 48 balls, but the target proved too much in the end. Bethell was run out in the last over after hitting eight boundaries and seven sixes. England managed 246 for 7 in 20 overs.
Playing their third straight semifinal in the IT20 World Cup against England and losing a crucial toss, Samson negated the impact of a possible dew factor by setting a platform for a massive score to give his bowlers enough cushion.
