In a thrilling semifinal at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, India edged out England by just seven runs to advance to the T20 World Cup final. India set a formidable target of 253 runs, largely thanks to an impressive performance from Sanju Samson who scored 89 runs. His innings was complemented by contributions from Shivam Dube and Ishan Kishan, who added 43 and 39 runs respectively, helping India to build a significant lead.

England's chase was powered by Jacob Bethell, who delivered a remarkable century, scoring 105 runs off only 48 balls, keeping England's hopes alive until the very end. Despite his stellar performance, England fell short, finishing their innings on 246 runs. Will Jacks also chipped in with 35 runs but was unable to secure the win. Bethell's effort was commendable, but India’s well-rounded batting performance proved crucial in this high-stakes match.

This victory not only highlights India's strength as defending champions but also sets the stage for an exciting final against New Zealand. The final, scheduled for Monday morning AEDT in Ahmedabad, will see India aiming to reclaim their title while New Zealand seeks to clinch their first T20 World Cup trophy, promising an intense and competitive showdown.
