In a stunning display of cricketing prowess, India crushed England by 68 runs to secure their place in the World Cup final, avenging their 2022 semi-final defeat. The highly anticipated match, held under overcast conditions, saw India deliver a clinical performance with both bat and ball.

England, opting to bowl first after winning the toss, got off to a promising start by dismissing Virat Kohli for a run-a-ball 9. However, Indian captain Rohit Sharma anchored the innings with a crucial half-century. Suryakumar Yadav contributed a solid 47 off 36 balls, while Hardik Pandya added a quickfire 23 from 13 deliveries. Ravindra Jadeja's unbeaten 17 off 9 balls provided a late surge, helping India post a competitive total of 171/7 in their 20 overs.

England's chase began aggressively, with Jos Buttler attacking the Indian pacers early on. However, Axar Patel's introduction in the fourth over changed the momentum as he dismissed Buttler for 23 off 15 balls. Jasprit Bumrah then shattered Phil Salt's stumps, and Axar struck again to remove Jonny Bairstow. Kuldeep Yadav joined the fray, delivering a stellar performance with figures of 3/19 from his four overs.

Harry Brook's 25 off 19 balls was the only significant resistance from England. Liam Livingstone's innings ended prematurely due to a mix-up with Jofra Archer, who managed some late fireworks but couldn't steer England to victory. India’s bowlers proved too formidable, as England were bowled out for 103.

India's comprehensive win sets up a thrilling final against South Africa in Barbados on June 29. Both teams remain undefeated, promising an electrifying conclusion to the World Cup.
