:A dominant India ended England's title defence by handing them a 68-run thumping in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup on Thursday and secure their place in the final against South Africa.
India flaunted their superabundance of talent in a display of absolute dominance to storm into the final of the T20 World Cup with a 68-run shellacking of England in their semi-final in Guyana on Thursday. Leading the charge once again was their inspirational skipper Rohit Sharma, who laid the foundation with an aggressive 57 off 39 balls, and the captain was well-supported by Suryakumar Yadav (47 off 36), as India posted 171 for seven after being asked to bat first in the rain-hit match.

Just like against Australia, India captain Rohit Sharma was on fire during the T20 World Cup semi-final press conference, ahead of the match against England at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. India and England eye a place in the final against South Africa, but there have been more talks regarding the weather and the pitch, rather than the actual match-ups between the two teams. England outplayed India at the same stage during the last edition of the T20 World Cup in Australia. On that night, England captain Jos Buttler and opener Alex Hales were too hot to handle for the Indian bowlers.
It will be a battle of T20I titans as the Men in Blue will be taking on England in the semifinals of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024 at Guyana on Thursday. It will witness the Jos Buttler-led England aim for a second successive T20 WC final, while Men in Blue will be aiming to avenge a brutal 10-wicket loss to the same opponent in the final four clash of the 2022 tournament at Adelaide. Since that heartbreaking loss at Adelaide, the Men in Blue have made a lot of changes to their white-ball game, introducing a plethora of young and more explosive talent like Rinku Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Ruturaj Gaikwad, etc leading upto the tournament.
Virat Kohli's poor form at the 2024 T20 World Cup continued as he was dismissed for a run-a-ball 9 against England in the second semi-final in Guyana. This is Kohli's fifth single-digit score at the ongoing T20 World Cup. Put into bat by Jos Buttler, Kohli smashed Reece Topley for a six in the third over. But the joy would last for just two more balls, as Topley had the last laugh. Looking to pull over mid-wicket, Kohli was beaten by the swing, and had his leg stump knocked off.
Former England captain Paul Collingwood believes the Jos Buttler-led side will play four spinners against India in the second semifinal of the T20 World Cup in Guyana on Thursday. The veteran cricketer said Adil Rashid is a "golden nugget" for England and will pose a challenge against Indian batters on a spin-friendly pitch at Providence Stadium amid the prediction of rain in the encounter. "He is a golden nugget for the England cricket team. He comes on naturally in the sixth over, I think the one thing about Rashid is, that his wrong'uns seem to be so difficult to pick. And he's got real good deception. Now in T20 cricket, deception is key. Whether it's slower balls or being able to turn the ball both ways. And he is looking really comfortable at the moment."
