Match over
- India Inning
- England Inning
| 0.14 : 0.1: Ben Stokes to KL Rahul, FOUR! CUT AWAY! Rahul off the mark with a boundary on the very first ball of the game. Width on offer and he cashes in. Short and outside off, Rahul plays it behind square on the off side and it races away to the fence. |
| 1.4w : 1.4: Chris Woakes to KL Rahul, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! KL Rahul walks back early! Chris Woakes, like he has so often done for England in this World Cup, draws first blood. Gets his line and length right this time. On a length and outside off, this one takes off after landing. Rahul looks to cut but it goes off the outside edge and it is taken by Buttler. He was done in by the extra bounce. Good effort ball by Woakes. |
| 3.16 : 3.1: Chris Woakes to Virat Kohli, SIX! BANG! That sails over the fence. What a shot that is from Kohli and much-needed for India. This is right in the slot though. Full and outside off, Kohli lifts it over the cover fence for a biggie. |
| 4.24 : 4.2: Sam Curran to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Clipped over! That should make Rohit feel good. He was itching to have a go and now finally gets one away. Full and on middle, Sharma flicks it over the mid-wicket fielder and it races away to the fence. |
| 4.34 : 4.3: Sam Curran to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Two in two for Rohit! He steps out, Curran looks to go short but he adjusts and pulls it past the mid-wicket fielder and into the fence. India looking to get a move on. |
| 5.14 : 5.1: Adil Rashid to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Welcome to the attack, says Rohit! Tossed up, around off. Sharma sits down on one knee and slog-sweeps it to deep square leg for a boundary. |
| 6.34 : 6.3: Liam Livingstone to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Good shot! This is full and around off. Kohli stays back and lofts it over the bowler's head for a boundary. |
| 8.24 : 8.2: Chris Jordan to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Welcome boundary for India! Rohit Sharma is trying to change gears for quite a while now and finally hits one off the middle. Loose one from Jordon. This is pitched up, outside off. Rohit lofts it over covers for a boundary. |
| 8.5w : 8.5: Chris Jordan to Rohit Sharma, OUT! TAKEN! Rohit's struggle comes to an end! He was not timing well and has to depart now. Good comeback from Jordon! This one is on a length and around off, it nips back in. Rohit is tempted to go big and swings his bat across without much conviction. It goes more off the upper half of the bat and to deep mid-wicket where Sam Curran runs forward, dives and takes a brilliant catch. That needed some catching. |
| 10.64 : 10.6: Ben Stokes to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! Up and over the off side this time! Yadav has probably stepped on the gas. Stokes over compensates and goes full and outside off, it is lofted over cover for a boundary. The last two balls spoil the over. |
| 10.56 : 10.5: Ben Stokes to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX! Over the fence! That is as fine as it gets! A short one on middle, Suryakumar Yadav looks to pull, this flies off the to edge and lands over the fine leg fence. Welcome one and India will hope this gets Yadav going. |
| 11.2w : 11.2: Adil Rashid to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! TAKEN! That is a massive, massive wicket! Suryakumar Yadav departs. The man who has been India's aggressor does not last for long. Brilliant captaincy from Buttler as he gave Rashid his last. Suryakumar Yadav steps out, he looks to go over covers. Gets close to the pitch of the ball too but this one turns away. He ends up slicing it towards sweeper cover. It is taken by Salt. Pin-drop silence here and India in trouble now. |
| 13.34 : 13.3: Chris Woakes to Virat Kohli, FOUR! That goes past the fielder! Rashid could have done better! Shorter and outside off, this is cut towards short third man. The fielder dives to his right but fails to stop it. A boundary. |
| 14.24 : 14.2: Liam Livingstone to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! That has been clobbered! That is hit really hard! This is right in the slot. Full and on middle, this is thumped down the ground and into the long on on fence. |
| 14.64 : 14.6: Liam Livingstone to Virat Kohli, FOUR! That has been cracked to the fence. Second boundary in the over and that is the kind of over India needed. 100 up for them with 5 overs to go. This is full and outside off, it is drilled through covers. Jordan at long off, runs to his left and dives but fails to stop it. |
| 15.34 : 15.3: Chris Jordan to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Good reply from Kohli! Pitched up, outside off. Kohli drives it through covers, no chance for the fielder in the deep and it races into the fence. |
| 16.16 : 16.1: Sam Curran to Hardik Pandya, SIX! THUMPED! Short ball, angling across, outside off and Pandya slams it away over deep cover for a biggie. Terrific shot. Pressure straight on Curran. |
| 17.1: Chris Jordan to Hardik Pandya, SIX! THAT IS BELTED AWAY! Pandya anticipated a short ball as he stays on the back foot. This is outside off and Hardik bangs this hard to cow corner for a biggie. |
| 17.26 : 17.2: Chris Jordan to Hardik Pandya, SIX! TWO IN A ROW! Brilliant from Pandya! A yorker but this is sliding down. Pandya doesn't miss out as he whacks it behind square leg for a biggie. India pressing on the accelerator. |
| 17.6w : 17.6: Chris Jordan to Virat Kohli, OUT! TAKEN! Fifty and out for Kohli! Jordon goes for the widish yorker, this is outside off. Kohli looks to jam it out but gets an outside edge to short third man where Adil Rashid takes a simple catch. Yet another fine fifty from Kohli. Handled his team in the middle phase and did the repair work brilliantly. Up to others to give a good finish now. |
| 18.24 : 18.2: Sam Curran to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Much needed! Short and outside off. Pant opens his body and slashes it away, not off the middle but enough to clear the backward point region. It races into the fence. |
| 18.44 : 18.4: Sam Curran to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! That is a really good shot! A yorker, angling outside off. Pandya opens the face of the bat and guides it past point for four runs. He races to 42 in no time. |
| 18.56 : 18.5: Sam Curran to Hardik Pandya, SIX! Pandya is just enjoying now! He will hit this out of the ground anyday! Short of a length and around off, sits nicely for Pandya who blasts it over mid-wicket for a biggie. |
| 18.64 : 18.6: Sam Curran to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Pressure, what pressure says Pandya! What an innings this is from Pandya! Short in length and on middle. Pandya hits this with all the power and to deep mid-wicket. Ben Stokes was behind the ball and got a hand but so was the power and the ball spun away and touched the ropes. Not good from Stokes and Pandya reaches to his fifty in style. 150 is already up and India will look to touch the 170 mark. |
| 19.3w : 19.3: Chris Jordan to Rishabh Pant, OUT! RUN OUT! A yorker, outside off. Pant fails to jam it out. Pandya wanted the strike so he runs across. Pant wasn't aware and ends up sacrificing his wicket as he is late to reach the other end. Pant gives a thumbs up to Pandya and takes one for the team. Pandya on strike. |
| 19.46 : 19.4: Chris Jordan to Hardik Pandya, SIX! THAT IS POWERED! Long on is a mere spectator! This is full and outside off. Hardik Pandya steps across and launches it over long on for a six. More height but enough distance. |
| 19.54 : 19.5: Chris Jordan to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! This is terrific batting! A full toss on middle. Hardik Pandya pulls it to deep square leg where Ben Stokes runs to his right but fails to keep it out. A boundary. Can India get past 170. |
| 19.6w : 19.6: Chris Jordan to Hardik Pandya, OUT! HIT WICKET! The ball races to the fence but Pandya's foot touches the woods behind. Still, an excellent innings from Hardik and INDIA END WITH 168. A length ball on middle. Hardik steps back as he flicks this to deep square leg. He was way inside his crease and ends up touching the stumps behind. The bails are lit up. |
| 0.14 : 0.1: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Buttler is off the mark in style! That is sheer timing! Lovely stroke! Length and outside off, Jos Buttler just pushes it past the diving cover fielder and it races away to the fence. |
| 0.34 : 0.3: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Through covers yet again! That is the second boundary in the over. Yet again wonderfully timed. Length and outside off, Buttler leans into it and creams it past cover. This one races away again. |
| 0.64 : 0.6: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Through the leg side this time and the crowd has gone silent here! 13 from the first over and England are off to a flier. This is full and on the pads, it is clipped through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 1.24 : 1.2: Arshdeep Singh to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Buttler is dealing in boundaries now! 4th for him! This is fuller and outside off, Buttler opens the face of the bat and carves it past point for a boundary. |
| 2.56 : 2.5: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Alex Hales, SIX! That is trademark Hales! Stand and deliver from him! A slower one, he stands his ground, waits for it and smacks it over the long off fence for a biggie. A very clean strike. |
| 3.14 : 3.1: Axar Patel to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Up and over! Pressure on the spinner straightaway! Lovely stroke! Shorter and on off, Buttler rocks back and lifts it over cover for a boundary. |
| 4.26 : 4.2: Mohammad Shami to Alex Hales, SIX! What a shot that is from Hales! Wow! Just beautiful! Hales gives himself some room. This is full and on off, he lofts it with a straight bat. Shows the maker's name and clears the long off fence. England managing to find a boundary every over. |
| 4.54 : 4.5: Mohammad Shami to Alex Hales, EDGY FOUR! The fifty is up for England and in no time! Luck too favoring them at the moment but they deserve it, they have been brave with their approach and have batted brilliantly. Shorter and outside off, Hales slashes at it, it flies off the outside edge and down to the third man fence. |
| 5.26 : 5.2: Axar Patel to Alex Hales, SIX! Trademark Hales yet again! He loves the sweep shot and plays it well. Patel is not a big spinner of the ball and hence, this is not a shot with a lot of risk. He moves in and sweeps it with the angle, over the square leg fence. |
| 5.64 : 5.6: Axar Patel to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Pulled away! The last ball spoils what was turning out to be a good comeback by Axar! Shorter and on middle, Buttler goes back and hammers it over the mid-wicket fielder for a boundary. What a Powerplay for England. They are 63 for 0 after it. They need another 106 in 84 balls. |
| 6.56 : 6.5: Ravichandran Ashwin to Alex Hales, SIX! Hales is on a rampage here! His 4th biggie. Ashwin goes quicker this time and on the pads, Hales whips it wide of deep square leg and it hits the fence on the full. Yet again a boundary in the over. |
| 7.26 : 7.2: Axar Patel to Alex Hales, SIX! That is the shorter side and Hales has no problems in clearing it! Shorter and on middle, this is pulled over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 9.14 : 9.1: Arshdeep Singh to Alex Hales, FOUR! Slapped away! Irrespective of who the bowler is, there is no respite for them! Shorter and on middle, Hales makes room and slaps it past cover for a boundary. |
| 10.1: Hardik Pandya to Alex Hales, SIX! Boundaries are flowing! On a length and outside off. Hales stays back and whacks it wide of deep mid-wicket and it drops straight on the ropes. A six. |
| 11.56 : 11.5: Ravichandran Ashwin to Alex Hales, SIX! Targets the short side and gets a six! he loves to play this shot! Tossed up on middle. Hales slogs it over deep square leg for a biggie. |
| 11.64 : 11.6: Ravichandran Ashwin to Alex Hales, FOUR! 10 of the last two, 15 overall. Evrything going against India. Very full, slower and outside off. Hales has enough time to thump this through covers for four. 48 needed in 48 balls. |
| 12.44 : 12.4: Hardik Pandya to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Innovative! This is just too easy at the moment for England. India have no clue what to bowl and where to bowl. Length and on middle. Buttler scoops it over fine leg for a boundary. |
| 12.56 : 12.5: Hardik Pandya to Jos Buttler, SIX! Fifty for Buttler! The captain leading from the front and is now moments away from taking his team into the finals. Short of a length and outside off. Buttler pulls it hard and over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. |
| 13.34 : 13.3: Mohammad Shami to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Playing with the field now! This is full and outside off. Buttler lofts it over covers and it races into the fence. |
| 13.56 : 13.5: Mohammad Shami to Jos Buttler, SIX! Shot of the match! Clearly! He is in a hurry to reach Melbourne now! Pitched up, on middle. Buttler clears his front leg and powers it straight down over Shami's head for a 100 meter six. |
| 13.64 : 13.6: Mohammad Shami to Jos Buttler, FOUR! India's day summarise in a single ball! Full again on off. Buttler again tries to go downtown but mistimes. The ball flies towards mid off where the fielder backtracks but could have probably left for the fielder running from long on. In the end, he only gets fingertips and the ball races to the long off fence. |
| 15.44 : 15.4: Mohammad Shami to Alex Hales, FOUR! Short and outside off. Hales shuffles in his crease and slashes it to deep cover for a boundary. Matters of when than if now. |
| 15.66 : 15.6: Mohammad Shami to Jos Buttler, SIX! It goes over Kohli and India have been hammered down as they go back home earlier than they thought! A huge roar from the skipper as he hits the winning runs. This is full and on middle. Jos Buttler smashes it over long on for a biggie. ENGLAND WIN BY 10 WICKETS AND WILL FACE PAKISTAN IN THE FINAL. |
