"The tournament co-hosts surged to 253-7, thanks in large part to a devastating innings from Sanju Samson, who hit eight fours and seven sixes for his 89. England appeared set to slump to a heavy defeat when they slumped to 95-4, but a remarkable first T20I century from Bethell kept their hopes alive."
"Yet those hopes were extinguished in the final over when Bethell was run out following a mix-up with Jamie Overton, his 105 the highest score by any batter at the tournament. That record will be cold comfort to the left-hander and to England, with India left to celebrate progressing to the final against New Zealand in Ahmedabad on Sunday."
India progressed to the T20 World Cup final after defeating England by seven runs in the semi-final at Mumbai. India's batting lineup proved dominant, accumulating 253-7 with Sanju Samson delivering a devastating 89 runs featuring eight fours and seven sixes. England's bowling attack struggled to contain the hosts' aggressive batting. England's chase faltered initially as they reached 95-4, but Jacob Bethell mounted a remarkable comeback with his first T20 international century at 105 runs, the tournament's highest individual score. However, Bethell was run out in the final over following a mix-up with Jamie Overton, ending England's hopes. India will face New Zealand in the final in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
