T20 World Cup semifinal: England Beat India, Will Meet Pakistan In Final

T20 World Cup semifinal: England emphatically booked their place in the final of the 2022 T20 World Cup with a 10-wicket win over India in the semi-final. Alex Hales (86 not out) and Jos Buttler (80 not out) were ruthless as England chased down 169 with 4 overs and 10 wickets to spare. India have for years adopted a risk-free approach in the powerplay and the first half of their innings.

Despite promises to do things differently, India managed to score just 168/6 from their 20 overs. This lack of intent cost them dearly as England ran riot in the chase.

Hales and Buttler put on an unbeaten 160-run stand to ensure England reached the final in style. Pakistan await in the final and England will be favourites to lift the trophy.

Suryakumar Yadav, who had been in brilliant form throughout the tournament, failed to fire when it mattered most and was dismissed for just 14 run. This loss will be hard to take for the Indian team and fans, but they can take some solace in the fact that they gave it their all.

There was no lack of effort or intent from the players, but unfortunately they were just not good enough on the day. England, on the other hand, put in a clinical performance to reach the final where they will face Pakistan. Chris Jordan was the pick of the bowlers for England, finishing with figures of 3-43.

Additionally, questions still remain about some of the players’ abilities, including KL Rahul’s ability to score runs in crucial matches.

England will now face Pakistan in the final, after they comfortably beat New Zealand in their semi-final match. This will be a rematch of the last final, which Pakistan won. Both England and Pakistan will be looking to put on a good show in the final, and it is sure to be an exciting match.
