T20 World Cup: England beat India to storm into World Cup final
In T20 World cup:Alex Hales and captain Jos Buttler shone in an unbroken opening partnership
as a ruthless England humiliated India by 10 wickets at Adelaide Oval on Thursday to storm into
T20 World Cup final
Openers Jos Buttler and Alex Hales overcame a feverish India-supporting atmosphere and chased 169 without
the loss of a wicket.
Hales finished on 86 not out, and Buttler, who was unbeaten on 80, completed the statement win in style,
blasting paceman Mohammed Shami over his head for six.
Earlier, England’s bowlers had restricted India well before Hardik Pandya’s 63 from 33 balls powered his side
to what had looked a testing score.
But Hales, recalled after more than three years in the international wilderness, gave England a rapid start and
Buttler continued the onslaught.
It denies the tournament what would have been a mouth-watering India-Pakistan finale, instead ensuring a
repeat of the famous 1992 50-over World Cup final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).

of the T20 World Cup 2022 in Adelaide on Thursday.
England roar into Sunday’s final
This was supposed to be the night India joined their great rivals in what would have been one of the great
sporting finals.
A frenzied crowd was expectant but by the end, a small pocket of England fans were jubilant, the quietened
India supporters drifting away.

England’s bowling effort, without Mark Wood because of injury and up against India’s batting line-up of
superstars, was tidy and disciplined, until they were knocked off course by Hardik’s late blitz.
The batting was simply stunning.
The imperious Buttler settled any nerves by taking three fours from the first over before he and Hales dispatched
both pace and spin in seemingly effortless fashion.
As the final majestic strike cleared the fielder and boundary at long-on, Buttler whipped off his helmet and roared
with delight.
A campaign that was floundering after defeat by Ireland two weeks ago could still end in glory.
Pakistan, who have produced their own remarkable recovery to reach the showpiece, were beaten 4-3 by England
in a seven-match T20 series in their own backyard last month.
Ominous signs for India as England reply strong
England opening batters have placed their side on the driving seat against India in the T20 World Cup’s second semi-final in Adelaide today.
In reply to India’s 168, England have well kept themselves up with the scoring-rate as the scoreboard reads 63 for naught at the end of Powerplay, after six overs. It is a total contrast to what India tallied, 38 for one, at the same phase in their innings.
