Mumbai, 5/3: A blazing knock of 89 from Sanju Samson and a disciplined bowling effort helped India beat England by seven runs in the second semifinal of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup on Thursday.
Samson laid the foundation with a whirlwind 26-ball half-century as India raced to 119 for two in the first 10 overs. Ishan Kishan also chipped in with a brisk 18-ball 39 after Abhishek Sharma fell early.
Samson made the most of a reprieve when England skipper Harry Brook dropped a “sitter” at mid-on and punished the bowling, particularly taking on pace spearhead Jofra Archer with a couple of towering sixes.
