Rohit led the way once again for India as they got to a score of 171/7 in 20 overs. England lost half their side before reaching 50. Axar Patel got the breakthrough in the form of Jos Buttler in the fourth over and went on to take a wicket off the first balls of both his subsequent overs. Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali were those England players who fell to him while Phil Salt was sent back by Jasprit Bumrah in the fifth over. Kuldeep Yadav also got among the wickets in the ninth over with the wicket of Sam Curran.

Rohit earlier scored 57 in 39 balls in a 73-run stand with Suryakumar Yadav that came in just 50 balls. The pair had to adjust to their innings being interrupted by a lengthy rain break that lasted over an hour.

The pair off to a sluggish restart on resumption. Rohit eventually scored his half-century but fell soon thereafter to Adil Rashid in the 14th over. Suryakumar continued to race along and fell to Jofra Archer in the 16th over on 47 off 36 balls. Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel then smashed away and got India past 170, with 160 usually being the par score at the Providence Stadium.

Jos Buttler earlier won the toss and chose to bowl first, putting India to bat at the Providence Stadium in Guyana in the semi final of the 2024 T20 World Cup. Toss was delayed by nearly an hour and a half due to intermittent rain in Georgetown. Virat Kohli's lean run continued as he fell for just nine runs in the third over of the match. India lost another wicket in the form of Rishabh Pant in the powerplay, at the end of which their score was 46/2. Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav were just starting to look good when rain returned and forced the players off the field after the eighth over. India's score stood at 65/2 at the time of the stoppage.

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: ‘We understand the occasion,’ says Rohit Sharma

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: "Very satisfying to win this game. We worked really hard as a unit. To win this game like that was a great effort from everyone. We adapted to the conditions really well. It was a challenge and we adapted. We played the conditions really well. If the players play according to the conditions, things falls in place. Very pleasing with how we came through. At one stage, (we were thinking) 140-150, as the game went on, after that partnership, we said another 25 runs. I can set the target in my mind, but I don't want to let anyone know about it, to the batters. They are all instinctive players. I thought 170 was a very good score on this surface. They (Axar and Kuldeep) are gun spinners. It's difficult to play some shots, the pressure is on them as well but they were calm and knew what to bowl. He (Kohli) is a quality player. Any player can go through that. We understand his class and his importance. Form is never a problem. The intent is there. Absolutely (backing Kohli for the final). We have been very calm as a team. We understand the occasion (final). Staying composed helps you make good decisions. That'll help us making the game through. You got to play good cricket. That's what we want to do in the final."

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: ‘We stuck together, came up short when it mattered the most,' says Jos Buttler

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: “India certainly outplayed us. We let them get 20-25 runs too many. It was a challenging surface that they played well on. They fully deserved this win. Very different conditions (than 2022), credit to India. They played a very good game of cricket. With the rain around, didn't expect the conditions to change too much. Don't think it really did. They outbowled us. They had an above-par score. Don't think toss was necessarily the difference between the teams. They've got some fantastic spinners. In hindsight, should have bowled Moeen in that innings with the way spinners were bowling. We are really proud of everyone's effort. We stuck together, came up short when it mattered the most.”

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: Axar Patel is the player of the match

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: “I have bowled in the powerplay in the past, so I had to bowl in the powerplay, that was the plan. The wicket was stopping and keeping low, so tried to bowl in the right areas. The wicket was slow, so I tried to bowl slower in this match, it worked for me. Wouldn't have worked had I bowled quicker, would have been easier for their batters. Our batters told us that the wicket wasn't easy, so 160 was a good total according to us. That partnership (between Rohit and SKY) was magnificent, they scored the occasional boundaries and rotated the strike. Not thinking about Barbados at the moment, will celebrate this player of the match award first.”

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: INDIA THROUGH TO THE FINAL! Beat England by 68 runs

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: Bumrah appeals for LBW fourth ball of the 17th, the umpire raises his finger and that has to be that. Archer reviews but it is definitely more because England have one review left than anything else. Not bat on it as Archer looked to meet that classic Bumrah toe-crusher with a sweep. It hits his backfoot on the full and wickets is umpire's call, interestingly. India will face South Africa for the title at the Kensington Oval on Saturday 8.30pm IST. For now, it is confirmed that we will have a team win the T20 World Cup without losing a single match this year. Both India and South Africa have stayed unbeaten, they absolutely pulverised their opposition in the semi finals. This will be one juicy clash indeed

Livingstone runs down the pitch from the non-striker's end, Archer comes about half of how much distance he covered before going back. Throw comes from short fine leg to the non-striker's end.

The Indians appeal and Rod Tucker lifts his finger. Curran reviews but it is more in hope than anything else. No bat on it and it is as plumb as they come. Rohit arguing with the umpire about something while the DRS is taking place. Wonder what that is all about. Anyhow, Curran walks, England lose half their side before crossing 50.

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: All right the players make their way back

Jos Buttler and Phil Salt open the innings for England, two of the most potent openers going around in T20 cricket. Arshdeep Singh would be knowing all about them though, having faced them a number of times in the IPL. He is bowling the first over. England need 172 to win. Here we go!

A single off the next ball and Axar completely misses his attempted big shot off the last ball.

India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: Ravindra Jadeja has joined Hardik Pandya in the middle.

An excellent over from Jofra Archer, just eight runs and a colossal wicket. Livingstone to get the death overs started.

SKY is on 41 off 28, Pandya on none off two.
