India booked their place in the T20 World Cup final after a thrilling, high‑scoring semifinal victory over England in Mumbai. The defending champions unleashed their full batting firepower, with Sanju Samson once again leading the charge through a dazzling 89 off just 42 deliveries. His knock anchored India’s imposing total of 253, a score that electrified the packed home crowd.
England stumbled early but refused to fade. Young sensation Jacob Bethell produced a stunning counterattack, smashing a 48‑ball 105 to keep the chase alive deep into the contest. Yet, when the pressure peaked, India’s bowlers held their nerve. Jasprit Bumrah delivered a masterclass at the death, tightening the screws just enough to secure a seven‑run win. With momentum surging, India now prepare for a blockbuster final showdown against New Zealand.
