Team India's dismal performance in the T20 World Cup 2022 came to an end on Thursday after they were defeated by England by a score of 10-wickets in the second semifinal. Thus, England won their way into the championship game, where they will take on Pakistan on Sunday at the MCG. After being given the opportunity to play, India amassed 168 for 6 thanks to Virat Kohli's 50 off of 40 balls and Hardik Pandya's 63 off of 33. Only Hardik Pandya, an all-around player, was able to finish with a score of 168. He had a 61 run partnership with Virat Kohli (50 of 40 balls). Pandya's outstanding strike, however, was what allowed India to succeed. Only Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya will not be included on the list of match offenders. The team didn't seem to have any plans to win the game from the very first over. Our openers have put on a complete failure during the T20 World Cup. The team's opening pair of skipper Rohit Sharma and vice-captain KL Rahul struggled throughout the competition. In today's game, the bowling unit was a complete failure; under the intense strain of the World Cup semifinal, they entirely forgot their line and length.
But thanks to commanding fifties from Alex Hales (86) and Jos Buttler (80) during their unbroken opening stand, England made a mockery of the chase and won with four overs to spare.
The fans were upset with the team selection, captain, coach, and other personnel following England's convincing victory against Team India in the second semifinal of the T20 World Cup 2022. With this, India maintains its subpar performance in the ICC tournament knockout rounds. India has failed to take home an ICC trophy since the year 2013. They have competed in up to four semi-finals and two championship matches. Inside of their 20 overs, India scored 168/6. It is a respectable, challenging total for a T20 World Cup semifinal. On a batting-friendly surface, like Adelaide Oval, where India's star batsman Virat Kohli has scored a tonne of runs, it is not a terrific one.
REMARKS BY LEGENDARY PLAYERS
Pakistan's cricket governing body poked fun at India's defeat to England in the T20 World Cup semifinal. The team's board posted a photo of Rohit Sharma standing at the airport with a boarding card from Adelaide to Mumbai.
Legendary player Sachin Tendulkar, referred to as the "god of cricket," stated on Twitter following the heartbreaking loss to England in the T20 World Cup semifinal game, "Life has two sides, just like a coin. If we take pride in our team's successes and treat them as if they were our own, we should also be able to accept when they lose. They both go hand in hand in real life. #INDvsENG"
"England simply outperformed them in every game-related element. I believe India's start was quite sluggish. They were unable to recuperate in time. But Alex Hales and Buttler were something else altogether. On this pitch, 190 would have probably been a nice total. But to start, India really accelerated their innings.
When asked why he made the forecast that England would win, Waqar Younis, a former Pakistan bowler, responded, "Look, it was mostly guesswork to be honest. However, everybody is aware of how excellent the England team is. In these knockout rounds, only England could have presented India with a significant challenge. But I never anticipated such dominance. They outperformed them. "India was completely defensive; they had no idea where to even begin. They were completely lost from the moment they began batting. They weren't being themselves. They did not play the ferocious cricket for which they are known. There were 38 runs scored in the first 6 overs. It was already too late when they realised they were losing the game. The pitch improved throughout the evening. It's challenging to stop Hales and Buttler the way they play, he said.
SUMMARY OF THE GAME
India failed to overcome the obstacles once more, and Jos Buttler and Alex Hales just outperformed them as England won by 10 wickets. This will be India's sixth attempt at an ICC trophy, although they haven't been successful since 2013. Even though they scored 168 points, they were outplayed in every aspect of the game today, and as a result, they lost the match in the 16th over. India reached the par score of 168 runs earlier in the day with 12 runs off the final over of the innings. If Pandya hadn't been hit-wicket, the score might have been 172 because the final ball was a four. In its final five overs, India scored 68 runs. Both Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya reached fifty runs for India. Adil Rashid, who ended 1-20 in four overs, was England's best bowler.
