In a high-stakes encounter at the Wankhede Stadium on March 5, 2026, India defeated England by 7 runs to secure their place in the T20 World Cup Final.
Batting first, India posted a monumental 253/7, the highest ever in a World Cup knockout match. The charge was led by Sanju Samson, whose blistering 89 off 42 balls set the tone, supported by aggressive cameos from Ishan Kishan (39) and Shivam Dube (43).
England’s response was equally fierce, spearheaded by a spectacular maiden century from Jacob Bethell, who smashed 105 off 48 balls. Despite his heroics, the required rate proved too steep under the pressure of India’s death bowling.
Jasprit Bumrah delivered a masterclass in the 18th over, and a crucial run-out of Bethell by Hardik Pandya in the final over sealed the win for the Men in Blue. England finished on 246/7, narrowly missing out on a historic chase. India will now face New Zealand in the final this Sunday in Ahmedabad.
