ICC Men’s T20 World Cup
By Michelangelo Jacobus
Despite a couple of rain interruptions yesterday at the Providence National Stadium in Guyana, India exorcised their semifinal demons to book a spot in the final of the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
The Indian fans came out in their numbers to support their team, with a smattering of English fans showing up as well. But as has been the case throughout the matches in Guyana, the stands remained unfilled.
However, despite the rain and with their fans urging them on, India’s spot in the final came at the expense of the defending champions, England, who had no answers for India’s spinners during their run chase and was bowled out for 103 (16.4 overs) in pursuit of 172 for victory, losing by a mammoth 68 runs.
