Samson 89 & Bumrah's Brilliance Send India to Final | T20 World Cup 2026

 

499 runs. 34 sixes. The highest-scoring match in T20 World Cup history. And in the end, it came down to Jasprit Bumrah — bowling a six-run 18th over against Jacob Bethell — to send India to the final.

March 5, 2026. Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Semi-Final 2. ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.

India beat England by 7 runs — scraping through in the most dramatic fashion imaginable to book their place in the T20 World Cup 2026 Final against New Zealand in Ahmedabad on March 8.

This was not a cricket match. This was an event. India posted 253 for 7 — the highest total in T20 World Cup knockout history. England responded with 246 for 7 — the highest score ever in a T20 World Cup run chase. 499 runs in 40 overs, 34 sixes, a century each from Sanju Samson and Jacob Bethell — and still, somehow, it needed a final over to separate the two teams.

India are in the final. England are going home. And Wankhede will talk about this night for decades.
