It was a Thursday with an early weekend vibe and the fans relished every second. Despite Jacob Bethell’s incandescent ton, India prevailed over England by seven runs in the ICC T20 World Cup semifinal in Mumbai at the Wankhede Stadium.
Chasing India’s 253 for seven, England finished with 246 for seven. The visitors lost Philip Salt and skipper Harry Brook early. Even as Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah exulted, these wickets revealed Axar Patel’s safe hands. Running away from cover, Axar dived and caught Brook’s miscued shot.
