Let us now look more in depth at the scorecard and the match progression of this iconic game.
India Wins The Toss And Bats First:
The Indian captain Rohit Sharma flipped the coin and decided to put India in the driver’s seat by trying to post a total that England would chase. The match follows previous encounters in the Caribbean, in that the pitch is prone to aiding spinners and tends to slow down with time. India started their innings on a somewhat difficult note after losing Virat Kohli early on. Skeptics were silenced by Rohit Sharma (who single-handedly lifted the team’s charge).While Rohit had a slow start when it came to his strike rate, he did find his rhythm later on. Sharma propelled the Indian innings forward while scoring 57 runs off 39 balls. He also hoisted 6 boundaries along with 2 sixes. Not to mention, Suryakumar Yadav played a crucial role as well, making 47 runs of 36 balls. The pair built a best-of-73 third-wicket partnership which helped capture both the individual and collective expectations of the Indian total and validate Rohit’s innings.
Middle Order Destruction of English Bowlers
Immediately after the brilliantly composed partnership between Rohit and Suryakumar, England managed to pick a few quick wickets. But India’s middle order ensured that India did not slow down. Hardik Pandya also contributed a useful 23 runs while Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel added some valuable runs towards the end At the end of the game, India finished with a total of 171 runs with 7 wickets lost in 20 overs While the English target isn’t exactly their strongest suit, under the pitch conditions coupled with India’s prowess as a bowling unit makes this total worthwhile.

And now, it is time for England to chase
England’s chase starts at a daunting target of 172 runs, which is easier said than done after England’s blundering start to their innings. Their openers took a slightly too aggressive approach, while the Indian bowlers showed precision to put England in more of a pickle
When England reached 49 runs, they had already lost 5 wickets. The pressure was mounting on the English batsmen. The Indian spinning pair of Patel and Yadav exquisitely utilized the pitch. They maintained tight lines, captured pivotal wickets, and prevented any English batter from getting settled.
In 16.4 overs, England was all out for a paltry 103 runs. India emerged victorious with a huge margin of 68 runs, advancing to the T20 World Cup finals where they would face South Africa
