India beat England to the top

England is not going through bad times. This time the English could not even reach the small target thrown by India.

Instead, Rohit Bahini came to the top by beating last year's champions.

Batting first, the Indian team stopped at 229 runs. Chasing this easy target, the English were bowled out for just 129 runs with 15.1 overs remaining due to batting failure. As a result, India won the match by 100 runs.

Losing five out of six matches, England's semi-final dreams are practically over. On the other hand, India came out on top by winning all the matches.

In response, England lost four wickets within 39 runs on the bowling balls of India's two pacers, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Sameer.

Bumrah picked up David Malan and Joe Root in consecutive balls in the fifth over of the match. Sami then sent Ben Stokes back. Stokes also could not open the account of runs after the route. Sami also bowled back Jonny Bairstow who was trying to settle on the wicket in the tenth over. Captain Buttler also did not last long.

He was bowled by Kuldeep Yadav after scoring only 10 runs. Liam Livingstone made 27 and Chris Woakes returned with 10 runs. Sami took 4 wickets for India. Three wickets for Bumrah and two for Kuldeep.

Before this, India got off to a good start by batting first. The maximum 87 runs came from the bat of captain Rohit Sharma. Apart from this, India got fighting capital in the innings of Lokesh Rahul's 39 and Suryakumar Yadav's 49 runs. The team fell back due to top order failure.

Shubman Gill (9), Virat Kohli (0) and Shreyas Iyer (4) returned within 40 runs. Then Rohit's 91-run partnership with Rahul. England's most successful bowler Willie. He took 3 wickets with 45 runs. Woakes and leg spinner Adil Rashid took 2 wickets each.
