In the 2024 T20 World Cup semi-final, India defeated England by 68 runs, capping a 10-year wait that began early on Friday morning. India will compete in the main event’s final for the first time since the 2014 T20 World Cup in Bangladesh. Being the first to bat in a rain-affected game on a sluggish field would be difficult, but Rohit Sharma’s team proved up to the task.
With a formidable aim of 172 runs, India was led by Rohit Sharma (57) and Suryakummar Yadav (47). England responded by being dismissed for an only 103 runs.
Rohit Sharma gave a speech following the victory explaining how they had won the semifinals.
“Winning was really fulfilling. did a fantastic job working together and exerted a lot of energy. The going got tough, but we adjusted very well. Thus far, it has been our greatest achievement. Rohit Sharma stated during the post-match presentation ceremony that “things fall into place if bowlers and batters adapt.”
“140–150 looked par at one point. However, we scored runs in the midst. SKY and I continued to think that we could score 20–25 more. 175 was a great score; the bowlers were outstanding. Gun spinners Axar and Kuldeep. It’s difficult to play shots against them in these circumstances. They handled the situation with poise. After the first inning, we had a conversation and the consensus was to keep the stumps in play. That’s what they carried out. I can mentally establish the goal, but I don’t want to tell the batters about it. Every one of them plays with instinct. I felt that the surface of 170 was excellent.
