T20 World Cup: Axar, Kuldeep Help India Outclass England; Set Up Summit Clash With SA
T20 World Cup: Spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel picked three wickets each to carry India into the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup title clash against South Africa after outclassing defending champions England by 68 runs in the second semifinal at the Providence Stadium.
After captain Rohit Sharma slammed his 32nd T20I fifty through a 39-ball 57 and along with Suryakumar Yadav, who struck 47 off 36 balls, helped India post a competitive 171/7 on a tacky pitch, brilliant spells from Axar and Kuldeep led to England falling in a heap as they were bowled out for 103.
Chasing 172, Jos Buttler hit four boundaries, including three off Arshdeep, to give England a strong start with 26 runs coming in the first three overs. But Axar and Jasprit Bumrah joined forces to leave England in tatters. On Axar’s first ball, Buttler looked to reverse-sweep but gave a top edge to keeper Rishabh Pant.
