19.6: Shivam Dube to Jofra Archer, SIX! Jofra Archer hits three sixes, but that still won't be enough! INDIA WIN BY 7 RUNS AND MARCH INTO THE 2026 T20 WORLD CUP FINAL. Shivam Dube misses his mark again, serves this in the slot, on off. Archer leans back and smokes it over the wide long off fence for a maximum. The celebration begins at Wankhede. What a game, truly epic!

6
19.5: Shivam Dube to Jofra Archer, SIX MORE! Another full toss, on off, Jofra Archer does not miss out and dispatches it over the long off fence again for half a dozen more.

1WD
19.5: Shivam Dube to Jofra Archer, WIDE! Slower one, full but a bit too wide outside off, Jofra Archer leaves it alone.

6
19.4: Shivam Dube to Jofra Archer, SIX! SMACKED! Full toss, on off, Jofra Archer extends his arms and launches it over the long off fence for a biggie.

1
19.3: Shivam Dube to Jamie Overton, A yorker around off, Overton pushes it away through mid off and takes a run.

1
19.2: Shivam Dube to Jofra Archer, India's game to lose, barring any extras! In the blockhole, on off, Jofra Archer swings but gets an inside edge onto his pads as the ball stops on the pitch. The batters steal a run.

1
19.1: Shivam Dube to Jacob Bethell, OUT! JACOB BETHELL IS RUN OUT! And that's the game for India. Shivam Dube bowls a full toss, on off. Bethell smashes it down the ground but straight towards Hardik Pandya on the bounce. He turns around for the second, but Pandya shows a good presence of mind as he fires in a throw quickly at the batter's end. The throw actually is a bit too wide, but Sanju Samson collects it to his right and drags his hands to break the stumps, with Bethell short of his ground despite the dive. Jacob Bethell walks back amidst a standing ovation from the English balcony.

0
18.6: Hardik Pandya to Jamie Overton, Superb over from Hardik Pandya! Just 9 off it! Hardik Pandya executes the wide yorker, just inside the tramline. Jamie Overton leaves it thinking it will be a wide, but it is not. 5 sixes needed in the last over.

1
18.5: Hardik Pandya to Jacob Bethell, Goes for the yorker, but it is the low full toss, around off. Bethell smashes it to the left of the cover. The fielder dives in that direction and makes a sharp stop. Just a single.

18.4: Hardik Pandya to Jamie Overton, Aims the blockhole, on off, Jamie Overton drills it down to long on for only a single.

0
18.3: Hardik Pandya to Sam Curran, OUT! TAKEN! Hardik Pandya gets his second and more importantly, it is a dot ball. A low full toss, on middle and leg. Sam Curran looks to flick it away but does not go through the shot fully. It flies in the air straight towards deep mid-wicket, where Tilak Varma settles himself just ahead of the ropes and takes a safe catch. England are 222/6.

1
18.2: Hardik Pandya to Jacob Bethell, A full toss, on middle, Jacob Bethell slogs it on the bounce to long on for a single.

6
18.1: Hardik Pandya to Jacob Bethell, SIX! Just over and that brings up the HUNDRED FOR BETHELL! Fuller and outside off, Jacob Bethell throws his hands at it and carves it wide of long off. Axar Patel runs to his right, gets a hand on it but only manages to parry it over the fence for a biggie. This has been a superb knock from the youngster and that too in a pressure semi-final, but the job is far from done here.

ENG215/5
ENG Batting J Bethell 96(44) S Curran 18(13)

1
17.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Jacob Bethell, No, they just see Jasprit Bumrah out! Pitched up and on leg, Jacob Bethell clips it through mid-wicket for one more. Bumrah ends his spell with figures of 4-0-33-1.

1
17.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Sam Curran, Full toss again, on middle and leg, Sam Curran bunts it down towards long on for one. Can England find a boundary in this over?

2
17.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Sam Curran, A full toss, down the leg side, Sam Curran flicks it away towards deep mid-wicket and comes back for the second run.

1
17.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Jacob Bethell, Nails the yorker once again, on middle, tailing in. Jacob Bethell digs it out from the bottom half of the bat towards the leg side. They cross. Just 2 runs in the first 3 balls in this over.

0
17.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Sam Curran, Jasprit Bumrah starts with a dot! Fuller and on middle, angling in. Sam Curran does not have any room to work with and bunts it back to the bowler. Dot balls will hurt England here.

IND253/7
IND Batting V Chakaravarthy 0(1) A Patel 2(2)

0
19.6: Will Jacks to Varun Chakaravarthy, Two byes! From around the wicket, Jacks darts in a yorker, on the leg stump. Varun Chakaravarthy has a free swing at it, but misses to connect. The ball beats the inside edge and nutmegs Varun before rolling past the leg stump, behind the keeper. Jofra Archer from short fine leg chases the ball before the ropes, and by the time he throws it back to Buttler, the batters cross each other twice. So 16 runs from the final over. INDIA FINISH AT 253/7.

1
19.5: Will Jacks to Hardik Pandya, OUT! HARDIK PANDYA IS RUN OUT! Very full from Jacks this time around, on the leg stump line. Hardik squeezes it to the deep mid-wicket region and calls for the second straightaway. They run the first one hard and turn back for the second, but in this process, Hardik almost bumps into Axar midpitch, which slows him down a bit. Jacob Bethell mops it up in the deep and throws it to Jos Buttler, who cleanly gathers the ball and breaks the stumps, with Hardik falling short.

6
19.4: Will Jacks to Hardik Pandya, SIX! POWERFUL! A juicy half volley from Jacks, around the off stump. Hardik Pandya clears the front leg, gets across a bit and smokes it over long on for a big six. Free-flowing bat swing from Hardik. He moves to 26 off 11 balls. 250 UP FOR INDIA!

0
19.3: Will Jacks to Hardik Pandya, Around off, on a fuller length, Hardik drives it to deep cover but turns down the single. The match-up is with Hardik against the off-spinner.

6
19.2: Will Jacks to Hardik Pandya, SIX! THWACK! Jacks pushes it across the batter, full and outside off. Hardik Pandya gets a big stride forward, sweetly times it and parks it behind the deep mid-wicket fence for half a dozen runs.

1
19.1: Will Jacks to Axar Patel, On a length, outside off, Axar leans back and cuts it to deep backward point for a single.

IND Batting A Patel 1(1) H Pandya 14(8)

1
18.6: Jofra Archer to Axar Patel, Another yorker, aimed at the sticks, Axar Patel moves outside leg, jams it off the inside edge. The ball rolls near the deck on the leg side and they dash off for a quick run. 20 from the penultimate over.

0
18.5: Jofra Archer to Tilak Varma, OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! At 149 kph, Archer cannons in a yorker at the stumps. Tilak Varma stays leg side of the ball and tries to crunch it through the off side, but fails to get bat on the ball. It dips below the bat, lands at the base of the off pole and makes an absolute mess of the furniture behind. A quick little cameo from Tilak Varma comes to an end. India are 236/6.

1WD
18.5: Jofra Archer to Tilak Varma, WIDE! A bit too straight down leg, on a fuller length. Varma misses the flick. Wide given.

6
18.4: Jofra Archer to Tilak Varma, SIX! Archer has no answer whatsoever to this onslaught against him. He bowls the off-cutter, on a good length, on leg. Tilak Varma stays put and pulls it behind long leg for the third six of the over. England's best has been taken to the cleaners.

6
18.3: Jofra Archer to Tilak Varma, SIX! That is an incredible cricketing shot! A searing delivery, but a full toss, on off. Tilak Varma exposes his stumps, gets his bat right underneath it and carves it over deep backward point for a huge six. Sheer brilliance of the batter and Archer is left shaking his head.

0
18.2: Jofra Archer to Tilak Varma, Swing and a miss! Archer comes from around the stump. Pushes it into the batter, cramping Varma for room. Tilak lines up for the pull shot, but the ball keeps jagging in and beats the inside edge.

6
18.1: Jofra Archer to Tilak Varma, SIX! Archer has been taken to the cleaners tonight! Slams the deck really hard, a real slot ball, on off and middle. Tilak picks the length in a trice, holds his shape and heaves it cleanly behind the deep mid-wicket fence for a cracking six.

End of over 18
IND217/5
IND Batting T Varma 3(2) H Pandya 14(8)

1
17.6: Sam Curran to Tilak Varma, Dishes out that moon ball, full and on middle, Tilak drives it across to widish long on for a single. Sam Curran is done with his spell with figures of 4-0-53-0.

1WD
17.6: Sam Curran to Tilak Varma, WIDE! Hurls in a slower ball, on a length, but going down leg. Tilak goes for the pull shot, but misses to connect. Wide given.

2
17.5: Sam Curran to Tilak Varma, That's excellent running between the wickets! This is fuller in length, on middle, Tilak Varma flicks it through square leg. The fielder in the deep charges towards the ball and throws it to the batter's end, but Tilak Varma reaches home before that with a dive. Two runs taken.

1
17.4: Sam Curran to Hardik Pandya, Put down! A slower delivery, good length and on middle. Hardik Pandya looks to heave it across the line but loses his bat in the process. The ball takes the top edge and flies towards long on, where Tom Banton is a little bit late to take off. He puts in a dive and tries to scoop it above the ground, but fails to hold on to it. They cross. This could prove to be another costly drop, as we all know what Hardik can do in the death overs.

0
17.3: Sam Curran to Hardik Pandya, OUT! SHIVAM DUBE IS RUN OUT! A real lack of communication between Hardik and Dube there. A yorker on the middle stump line. Pandya is deep in his crease and gets his bat down just in time, jamming it towards short mid-wicket. He takes a couple of steps forward in the follow-through while Dube has already set off and is halfway down the pitch looking for the single. Pandya sends him back, but by then it is too late. Dube has no chance of making it back. Brook has just one stump to aim at and hits it straight on with Dube out by a fair bit. Shivam Dube is very disappointed and lets Hardik know about it. India are 212/5.

0
17.2: Sam Curran to Shivam Dube, England burn one review! Full and tailing into leg stump. Dube stays deep in his crease and looks to flick, but misses it on the inside edge. The ball strikes the outer part of his front pad and trickles behind square on the leg side for a leg bye. There is an appeal for LBW, and England, after some pondering, have gone upstairs for a review. It is a fair delivery with no bat involved on the UltraEdge. Impact is umpire’s call, and the ball is going on to miss the leg stump.

6
17.1: Sam Curran to Shivam Dube, SIX! BELTED AWAY! Curran takes pace off, on a length, on top of off. Shivam Dube stands tall and hammers it over cow corner for a cracking six.
