In the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2022, England defeated India by 10 wickets to enter the final. With this defeat, India's dream of playing the final is once again broken. Team India played the last final of the T20 World Cup in 2014, where they lost to Sri Lanka. England will now face Pakistan in the final on November 13. Talking about the competition, while batting first, Team India scored 168 runs based on half-centuries from Hardik Pandya and Virat Kohli. This score was achieved by the England openers in just 16 overs without losing a wicket. Butler scored 80 while Hales played an unbeaten inning of 86 runs.

 

Openers did not show progress

 

The Indian openers once again disappointed against England. While KL Rahul was dismissed for 5 runs in 5 balls, Rohit Sharma scored 27 runs in 28 balls. Both the openers had strike rates of 100 or less. In T20 cricket, if a team has to lay the foundation of a big target, then the openers have to take advantage of the first 6 overs, during which there are only 2 fielders outside the circle of 30 yards, but India could not take advantage of it in the semi-finals. . India had scored only 38 runs in the first 6 overs, while on the other hand, talking about England, they added 63 runs taking advantage of the powerplay.

 

Suriya failed on the big stage

 

Suryakumar Yadav proved to be the X factor for India in this World Cup. But this player could not bear the pressure of a big stage like the semi-finals. Surya returned to the pavilion after scoring just 14 runs. England had also brought a special plan for this player. The English bowler was not giving pace to Surya during the entire innings, due to which he was dismissed in a jiffy. Adil Rashid showed the way to the pavilion Surya.

 

bowlers failed

 

India scored 168 runs based on Hardik Pandya's 63 and Virat Kohli's 50. Defending this score, the Indian bowlers could not show amazing. Neither Bhuvneshwar Kumar and other bowlers could take wickets in the powerplay. Neither the pair of Axar Patel nor R Ashwin could give any success to India.

 

Butler-Hales' scintillating batting

 

Chasing the target of 169 runs, Jos Buttler and Alex Hales batted stormy from the beginning. While playing the field, both these players made quick shots and did not give wickets to the Indian bowlers.

 

England's tight bowling

 

After winning the toss, and electing to bowl first, the England team made a good start. Their bowlers did not give the Indian batsmen a chance to open their hands. They lost their wickets when the Indian batters were rushing to score runs. Barring Chris Jordan and Sam Curran, all bowlers bowled economically. From here England laid the foundation of its victory.
