England’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup defence is over – and India are through to the final, winning this semi-final encounter by 68 runs.
After some less-than-convincing performances, Jos Buttler’s side had got the job done in style to make it out of the Super Eights, with the captain himself putting on an unbeaten 83 against the USA, to add to a fine bowling performance – including a hat-trick from Chris Jordan.
