The wait is finally over! It’s semifinal day in the Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 and India just beat England by seven runs in a thrilling match at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. This win takes India to the final against New Zealand on Sunday at Narendra Modi Stadium. Read on to know all about the epic and memorable moments.
India batted first and scored 253 runs. Once again, Sanju Samson was the star as he hit 89 runs off only 42 balls, Shivam Dube added 43 off 25 balls, and Ishan Kishan scored 39 from 18 balls and helped India cross the 250-run mark and set a solid target.
However, it wasn’t easy for the bowlers, as England started their chase well but lost a bit of their steam later. The match came down to the last moments but the final overs from Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya saved the game and just like that, India won by seven runs.
Not just the bowling, India’s fielding was also top-class. The moment that everyone will remember happened when Will Jacks hit a big shot and Axar Patel ran far to catch it near the boundary. He grabbed the ball but was about to step over the rope. Quickly, he threw it back to Shivam Dube, who caught it quickly and smoothly. This smart fielding became one of the highlights of the tournament.
