Georgetown (Guyana): India tharshed holders England by 68 runs to enter the final of the T20 World Cup here on Thursday. Chasing a target of 172, England were bowled out for 103 in 16.4 overs. Indian tweakers Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel spun a web around the England batters.
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma top-scored with 57, while Suryakumar Yadav made 47. Opener Virat Kohli (9) and Rishabh Pant (4) fell cheaply. Rohit and Surya added 73 for the third wicket.
The toss took place after a delay of 75 minutes due to wet outfield. Both sides went in with an unchanged XI.
