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

[Mas-LFC]

England missing Wood.is mediocre on flat wickets

 

[prash88]

Indian hating English journos like Nasser Hussain, Atherton and countless others ll be moaning post match... Should be a great day!!

 

[prash88]

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

Good decision to send left against Rashid

De dew is used also

 

[prash88]

Dube tearing Rashid. Every strategy working for India today?

 

[Smbhayi]

Dube is punishing Rashid here..

 

[jnaveen1980]

England missing Wood.is mediocre on flat wickets

Wood was thrashed all over the park on this very same ground by Abhishek lol

 

[Mas-LFC]

Good batting no doubt. Dube has Yuvraj like swing

 

[Mas-LFC]

Samson seems like the new RSharma

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Game over

 

[Rajdeep]

England missing Wood.is mediocre on flat wickets

How are they missing him then if he is mediocre?

 

[The Bald Eagle]

India have won it already, No English batter can do Finn Allen knock provided that they are against best C***** not Saffers.

 

[Katwalindian]

England should just give india bye now instead of wasting everyone time .....such a lollo club level bowling..........

 

[CricVet]

India have won it already, No English batter can do Finn Allen knock provided that they are against best C***** not Saffers.

I dare you say chuckers!

 

[Mas-LFC]

Game over

Picture abhi baki hai mere dost

 

[Hitman]

6 by Sanju.

 

[Mas-LFC]

England will not get it

Haven’t bowled well. Dropping Samson hasnt helped. Playing it into the hands of the indian batters.

 

[saabir]

India targeting more than 250+ here ..it's going to be easy win for India

 

[Ahmed216]

Jofra archer bowling filth. A useless bowler most of the time.

 

[Hitman]

Another 6 by Sanju.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yesterday we saw brute force. Today all class

 

[Human786]

A very flat deck . 220 can be chased .
160/2 in 13

 

[RahulBose]

India have won it already, No English batter can do Finn Allen knock provided that they are against best C***** not Saffers.

Bumrah has control and skills that cannot be bought.

Very "demeaning and oozing with jealous" comment

 

[Smbhayi]

Hahaha, Archer gets serious punishment here .

 

[prash88]

Samson is etching himself as a cult hero in Indian cricketing folklore...

 

[Katwalindian]

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

@jeeteshssaxena are you here?

 

[Mas-LFC]

Archer was thrashed by Nepali midget batsmen so appalling now days he isnt a threat at all. Injuries ruined him. Living on past rep. Get rid!

 

[saabir]

Good to see finally Sanju performing consistently..he is such Talented and good human being..

 

[prash88]

Jofra done with 3 overs. Sam Curran and overton as death bowlers should go for millions here.

 

[CricVet]

Jofra archer bowling filth. A useless bowler most of the time.

When the ball is not moving much, most bowlers get litmus tested of their discipline- that separates the elites from mediocrity.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Sanju seems like a clutch player, played well when it mattered the most.

Regardless of whatever happens from now on, he's done well

 

[shah9425]

Haven’t bowled well. Dropping Samson hasnt helped. Playing it into the hands of the indian batters.

This will be too much for England batters to chase down in knockout match

 

[jnaveen1980]

Samson departs. Unselfish knock.

 

[Human786]

I dare you say chuckers!

On Indian game threads , you appear very sore & sour . Loosen up , we beat you regularly but then you have a crap team .
160/3

 

[Smbhayi]

Samson throws it away..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Samson gone after putting his haters to sleep.

 

[prash88]

Get SKY in

 

[Devadwal]

Sanson gone. England is back. .

 

[Mas-LFC]

Yess!! Samson gone! Big wicket

 

[batandballbattle]

archer has been spanked like no tomorrow

 

[Hitman]

Well played, Sanju!

 

[shah9425]

Well played Samson

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

That’s how you play even when nearing a century… no personal agendas unlike some

 

[CricVet]

Would this bring some life back in Eng fast bowling? Let's wait and see.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

We should try to get to 240

 

[Katwalindian]

England should have just now let him play......instead of getting fresh legs out now

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Big knocks from these Indian guys the team seems to peaking nicely at the right time.

 

[CricVet]

On Indian game threads , you appear very sore & sour . Loosen up , we beat you regularly but then you have a crap team .
160/3

Jali na!

 

[batandballbattle]

samson gone but he made them pay severely for the drop
they still look set for 230 odd, perfect platorm for the rest of the lineup

 

[Ahmed216]

Batted like a breeze

 

[Mas-LFC]

England needs to stop the run flow. Couple of more wickets then England can restrict them under 215.

 

[rickroll]

Will dew be a big factor when India is bowling? In that case England has a good chance of making it.

 

[saabir]

What a selfless player he could have gone for easy 100 by picking 2,s and 4,s. Job well done..now time for middle order to keep the momentum. Lots of wickets in hand .

 

[BDfanforever]

Brook lost the game for Eng first by chasing in knockout match second by dropping Samsons catch.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Would Pakistani fans consider it fair if Samson's dropped catch by Brook of all makes a difference in the game as the dropped catch of Brook in Pak vs Eng?

Catch is part of the game brother if you drop it on you can't complain about fairness etc, it's not like someone broke the rule. Catch is dropped and batsman cashes in that's just cricket.

 

[Devadwal]

The last time Virat scored 89 at this stadium was in the World T20 semi-final. We lost the match.

Sanju Samson Scored 89 ..

 

[rickroll]

England needs to stop the run flow. Couple of more wickets then England can restrict them under 215.

Is 215 the par score in this ground?

 

[saabir]

Will dew be a big factor when India is bowling? In that case England has a good chance of making it.

Not much dew expected today .. not easy to face Bumrah..his 4 overs will be key .. anything over 200 won't be easy against Bumrah and co.

 

[Mas-LFC]

What a selfless player he could have gone for easy 100 by picking 2,s and 4,s. Job well done..now time for middle order to keep the momentum. Lots of wickets in hand .

Top teams, Aus of 1999-2007, never operates in a selfish manner. This Ind team has that aus mentality with lots of confident six hitters. The mentality has changed so much they dont stat pad like others did

 

[jnaveen1980]

If this England attack bowls to Finn Allen it will be a one-sided final

 

[Devadwal]

Sky is useless

 

[DRsohail]

If this England attack bowls to Finn Allen it will be a one-sided final

They are packing the bags tonight.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Only chance Eng have is that Salt and Brooks have good day at this Ground but India has Bumrah

 

[CricVet]

Catch is part of the game brother if you drop it on you can't complain about fairness etc, it's not like someone broke the rule. Catch is dropped and batsman cashes in that's just cricket.

Well, I was just talking about how life even things out. Brooks took advantage of a dropped catch that made the difference in the game. Now Brook dropped the catch and returned the favor, which MIGHT make a difference in the game.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Good over by Jacks

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Dam. England need wickets Quickly.

Unless Brooks redeems himself by scoring a match winning knock, his drop of Samson could be pivotal.

India are looking at a monster Total

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Samson gone after putting his haters to sleep.

Yes, he played an excellent knock on this stage. Although brook dropped a dolly.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Is 215 the par score in this ground?

Not sure. But the wicket seems ultra flat. Highs scoring ground. So its not over yet

 

[pillionrider]

DK called Samson selfless for still going for a big shot despite a magical 100 being on the line. But I feel he should've done what Kohli would've done in a situation like this. Either leave it and it would've been wide or just pushed it for a single. Dube had been specifically brought in early to target the spinners. And commentators would've waxed about him doing the 'right thing'. Sometimes be a little selfish if the situation doesn't really require you to be selfless.

 

[CricVet]

If Eng managed to restrict Indi under 200, that in itself is an achievement for them today. The fast bowlers did a huge disservice to them earlier.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

200-220 can be chased on this ground.

250+ can be daunting, anything below Eng will try, it's a flat track

Kishan did that well in PP by giving strike to Samson and got away from Jacks...

 

[RahulBose]

The last time Virat scored 89 at this stadium was in the World T20 semi-final. We lost the match.

Sanju Samson Scored 89 ..

Indian do lack scientific temperament....
One of the few things keeping us behind

 

[Mas-LFC]

Last 16 balls 26 runs. England stopping the rr now

 

[rickroll]

Good, things are slowing down now. I think England is pulling ot back!

 

[shariqnoor]

England losing the match against NZ would've helped England.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

I dare you say chuckers!

It's an open secret

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

I don't know but how SKY become a captain.. He is the most pathetic batsman india have ever produced.

 

[Human786]

5 overs to go - 177/3 . Strong finish needed on this road .

 

[Mas-LFC]

Curran and archars slow balls easily got picked
