    T20 WC: Samson's 89, Bumrah, Hardik Bowling Propel India Past England Into Final (ld)

    T20 World Cup: Sanju Samson smashed a second successive half-century to help India post a massive total before Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya tripped a rampaging England, propelled by Jacob Bethell's brilliant century, and guided the defending champion into the final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday.

    Samson blasted a 42-ball 89 and shared vital partnerships with Ishan Kishan and Shivam Dube as India posted 253/7 in their 20 overs. Jacob Bethell kept England in the hunt till the last, batting aggressively despite wickets falling from the other end to post a mesmerising 105 off 48 balls (8x4, 7x6).

    England needed 45 runs from the last three overs, with Bethell and Sam Curran going great guns in the middle. Bumrah bowled a brilliant 18th over, conceding only six runs, and Pandya followed it with nine runs and a wicket to make the equation 30 off six balls. Bethell got out on the first ball of the 20th over as the stadium erupted in joy. England ended up with 246/7 in 20 overs, handing India a seven-run victory and a place in the final against New Zealand at Ahmedabad on Sunday.
