NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Alex Hales and Jos Buttler produced a batting masterclass as England thrashed India by 10 wickets to storm into the T20 World Cup final.
Chasing 169 to join Pakistan in Sunday’s final, Hales blasted 86 from 47 and Buttler smashed 80 from 49 as England cruised to victory with four overs to spare.
India only reached 168-6 – the par score at the Adelaide Oval – thanks to some late hitting from Hardik Pandya, who made 63 from 33.
England’s emphatic win means Buttler’s side progress to the T20 World Cup final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where they will face Pakistan following their semi-final win over New Zealand.
