India (253/7) hold nerve to beat England (246/7) by 7 runs, qualify for T20 World Cup 2026 Final

[Kianig89]

Eng set to chase 250

 

[Kianig89]

All too easy for India , Dilly Rash in

 

[IAJ]

Good over from Rashid bar the first ball

 

[globetrotter]

73-1 in 7 overs ... so far bad day for Pak fans

 

[pillionrider]

Sharma's shot today was the first time I feel he really deserves to be criticized this tournament. Meaningless shot when the fielder had been dropped back two balls before. He literally played inside out the ball before to hit a boundary over midoff and then goes and plays this nothing shot straight to the fielder.

 

[globetrotter]

England players feeling the pressure

 

[IAJ]

England fielders more nervous than pakistani fielders

 

[Rajdeep]

Pak fans needlessly getting agitated. They dont know how flat Wankdehe pitch is and under dew even 300 can be chased

 

[IAJ]

Proper batsman and amazing timings

 

[shah9425]

Well played Samson

 

[jnaveen1980]

Timing is all you need. You don't need brute power

 

[Hitman]

92/1

 

[globetrotter]

6.... what a shot by Ishan

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

England getting taken to the cleaners

 

[IAJ]

19 of the over

 

[batandballbattle]

Pak fans needlessly getting agitated. They dont know how flat Wankdehe pitch is and under dew even 300 can be chased

against arshdeep and bumrah they won't be able to chase anything more than 180

 

[Smbhayi]

Dawson get murdered in this over

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Game over

 

[globetrotter]

Pak fans needlessly getting agitated. They dont know how flat Wankdehe pitch is and under dew even 300 can be chased

Now they will watch till last ball bowled

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Can't believe we didn't hammer Dawson lol

 

[Smbhayi]

Don't take unnecessary risk against Rashid, then india will score 240+

 

[batandballbattle]

England has too many halwa bowlers, too easy for India

 

[Rajdeep]

Shyam Karan runs with a vengeance with ball in hand and then deliver 120 kph

 

[IAJ]

SIX again

 

[Smbhayi]

Kishan is a very good slogger against spin bowling..

 

[globetrotter]

Can't believe we didn't hammer Dawson lol

Don't compare Indian batters with minnows... they have extraordinary strokes play talent

 

[DRsohail]

Hahha one sided game. England looks clueless.

 

[prash88]

Indian batters showing how to play modern day cricket to BazBallerz. Great position India is in...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kishan is a very good slogger against spin bowling..

Nobody is a slogger here. They are just timing it dude. What seifer does is slogging

 

[Mas-LFC]

Come on England

This is a high scoring ground so England just needs to keep it below 210.

 

[CricVet]

Can't believe we didn't hammer Dawson lol

Did we play at this venue? The criticism has to be valid. The ball was doing much more at Palekelle than here.

 

[RamLakhan]

I think Indian will move on from Abhishek after this tournament (maybe starting from this Finals itself it they reach). Kishan or someone may partner Sanju... Also SKY should be dropped from captaincy and even his place... The T20 team should be dynamically structured every year. He should not be captaining the next world cup which is coming in 2 years...

 

[Smbhayi]

Wow..

 

[Kianig89]

Pathetic Eng are not up for this

 

[batandballbattle]

samson could even get 150 here, he is in insane touch

 

[Asif321]

What a crime by brook . Sanju has gone crazy

 

[U$ofA]

Can someone dig a hole for Brooke to hide in. His drop has already cost 50 runs.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Samson is slapping his haters once again. @jeeteshssaxena

 

[jnaveen1980]

You need great presence of mind in crunch games. THat is where Abhishek looked totally out of sorts

 

[Mas-LFC]

Absolute flat highway. No need to worry. Anything under 220 is getable.

 

[big_gamer007]

India need to score a world record 300+ to have a chance in this game. Anything less it will be Englands game to lose.

 

[shah9425]

England looking buried already

 

[prash88]

Pitch ll switched for England in second innings - Saqlain Mushtaq

 

[Smbhayi]

Nobody is a slogger here. They are just timing it dude. What seifer does is slogging

I mean slog sweeping, not tulla.. slogger is not a bad word btw..

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

India toying england bowling lol, pitch has nothing for bowlers so far. Maybe got better in 2nd innings.

 

[Kianig89]

Add 20 runs to Indias total for that chucker Bumrah.

Very difficult may be if Buttler scores a 40 ball ton

 

[IAJ]

Finally a wicket

 

[big_gamer007]

India toying england bowling lol, pitch has nothing for bowlers so far. Maybe got better in 2nd innings.

Will get worse in second innings due to dew.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Kishan gone. 117/2

 

[jnaveen1980]

I mean slog sweeping, not tulla.. slogger is not a bad word btw..

I mean you need power to slog. Our guys don't have power. Most of them are timers.

 

[Smbhayi]

Unnecessarily throw wicket away there, kishan

 

[Devadwal]

Gone.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Kishan gone

 

[big_gamer007]

Theoretically it’s quite a Good decision to send Dube against spin at this time. Let’s see how it pans out

 

[batandballbattle]

ishu kishu gone, maybe a little too late though

 

[Mas-LFC]

Get Samson out thats it. RR will come down

 

[Smbhayi]

Spin basher comes in

 

[Rajdeep]

Rashid has to be the best T20 bowler in world now

 

[jnaveen1980]

Absolute flat highway. No need to worry. Anything under 220 is getable.

Not to spoil your mood. Last time when India made 245 on this ground against England. They were bowled out for 97 runs without Bumrah

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Samson is slapping his haters once again. @jeeteshssaxena

Hes a humble guy from the South. Easy for the Hinduvta bullies

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Should have send pandya here and gone bonkers

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball is gripping !!!! Damn. why didn't they pick Kuldeep

 

[Mas-LFC]

Excellent over by Adil

 

[shah9425]

Absolute flat highway. No need to worry. Anything under 220 is getable.

England will not get it

 

[jnaveen1980]

Should have send pandya here and gone bonkers

Nowadays he is hit or miss as he tries to hit too hard and loses shape

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Pak fans needlessly getting agitated. They dont know how flat Wankdehe pitch is and under dew even 300 can be chased

i see you Gambhiring here

 

[batandballbattle]

dube promoted, let's see if it pays off

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Ball is gripping !!!! Damn. why didn't they pick Kuldeep

Lol ball is not gripping at all.

 

[Asif321]

Why sky hiding

 

[Katwalindian]

Should have send pandya here and gone bonkers

Dube is better

 

[batandballbattle]

adil bhai keeping it professional as always even with everyone else around him dissapearing

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lol ball is not gripping at all.

That turned

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Nowadays he is hit or miss as he tries to hit too hard and loses shape

He can hit 3x sixes per over.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He can hit 3x sixes per over.

He can. He has set this ground ablaze so many times. But it has to be his day.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

That turned

Maybe a tiny spot. Overall it's phatta.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Maybe a tiny spot. Overall it's phatta.

Red soil disintegrates slightly quickly.

 

[Devadwal]

Dube Bhai is doing Tuktuk.

 

[RidiculousMan]

210 should be a comfortable winning score here.

 

[Hitman]

6

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Surya already said at Toss , With Breeze around he does nt expect any dew

Good decision to send lefty against Rashid
