ICC T20 World Cup 2024: India in T20 World Cup final after 10 years
India has made it to the final of T20 World Cup 2024 by defeating England. The victory was one-sided. Captain Rohit Sharma scored runs. Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel bowled out England. India will face South Africa on 29 June at 8 pm. Africa has reached the final of a World Cup for the first time.
Rohit's confidence in batting on the Guyana pitch where the English batting collapsed to 103 runs is reflected by one thing he said to Suryakumar. Liam Livingstone was bowling. Rohit said to Surya - If you will bowl it up, I will give it to you. That is, let me throw the ball up and I will play a big shot. Rohit hit Livingstone for a six on the very next ball.
After Rohit-Surya, the remaining work was completed by the bowling of Kuldeep, Axar and Bumrah. Batsmen like Butler, Bairstow and Brook got entangled in the spin. Explosive batsman like Salt was dismissed by Bumrah on a slower ball.
India will now play the title match against South Africa in Barbados tomorrow, which has reached a World Cup final for the first time. India has won the title in 2007 and lost the 2014 final.
