T20 World Cup: In Cricket, India stormed into the final of Men’s T20 World Cup after thrashing defending champions England by 68 runs in the semi-final in Guyana last night.

Put in to bat first, India posted 171 runs for the loss of seven wickets in stipulated 20 overs. Skipper Rohit Sharma with 57 runs off 39 balls was the top scorer for Team India. While for England, Chris Jordan scalped three wickets.

Chasing the target of 172 runs, England were wiped out for just 103 in 16.4 overs. Both Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel clinched three wickets each. Axar Patel was crowned as the Player of the Match.

Akashvani correspondent’s report:

India will take on South Africa in the Summit Clash at Barbados tomorrow. This is India’s third entry into the final of the tournament.

Both India and South Africa are unbeaten in this tournament. They have shown exceptional performance with bat as well as ball.

Team India is looking in a great touch as Indian bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav were already bowling well and now Axar Patel’s great spell against England in the semis shows India’s enhanced bowling attack.

Skipper Rohit Sharma has also gained the momentum in last two matches, while Virat Kohli’s continuous poor performance in the tournament is a matter of concern for the men in blue.

On the other hand, South Africa will be playing their maiden T20 World Cup final tomorrow. The inaugural champions of the tournament, India, will try to stop their rival South Africa from lifting their first ever ICC trophy.

In Bridgetown, the battle of two unbeaten teams will decide the winner of this edition of  ICC Mens T20 World Cup.
