Providence, June 28 (HS). The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team defeated England by 68 runs at the Providence Stadium in Guyana to enter the final of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, where they will face South Africa on Saturday.
Chasing the target of 172 runs, captain Jos Buttler and Philip Salt gave the desired start to the English team and started hitting the ball across the boundary easily, especially Buttler was in aggressive mode, Buttler also caught Arshdeep's slow balls and hit three fours. With England's excellent run rate of more than 8, the imagination of the 2022 World Cup semi-final slowly started emerging in the minds of Indian fans. But Axar Patel, who came to bowl in the power play, took advantage of the opportunity and gave India the first success by sending Buttler to the pavilion.
On the very first ball of Akshar, Butler went for a reverse sweep and the ball touched the bat and went straight into the hands of Rishabh Pant behind the stumps. Butler scored 23 runs in 15 balls with the help of 4 fours, after which Jasprit Bumrah gave India the second success by bowling Salt with one of his ideal slow off-cutters in the fifth over on the total score of 34.
