Indian captain Rohit Sharma and left-arm spinner Axar Patel played the lead roles as their team emphatically claimed a place in the T20 World Cup final against South Africa in Barbados on Saturday with a 68-run victory against England in their rain-delayed semifinal at the Providence Stadium in Georgetown, Guyana, on Thursday.

Rohit compiled a technically brilliant innings of 57 from 39 balls to lead his team to a highly competitive total of 171-7 after being asked to bat first and Axar claimed three of the first four wickets to fall as England collapsed to 49-5 with no way back into the contest, eventually dismissed for just 103 in 16.4 overs.

Virat Kohli was bowled by Reece Topley while Rishabh Pant whipped a length delivery from Sam Curran to Jonny Bairstow at mid wicket to leave innings on 40-2 inside the Power Play before rain intervened with India on 65-2 after eight overs.England’s run-chase was undone early with captain Jos Buttler top-edging a reverse sweep against Axar and fellow opener Phil Salt bowled by Jarprit Bumrah’s slower ball.
