India snuck over the line by seven runs in a brutal semifinal against England. Sanju Samson blasted 89 from 42 balls to set the tone, as the Men in Blue scored more sixes (19) in a tournament innings than any side in history. Jasprit Bumrah holds the key with the ball, while Axar Patel's fielding has also impressed.
New Zealand reached an unexpected second men's T20 World Cup final largely thanks to Finn Allen's magnificent unbeaten century, the fastest in tournament history at just 33 balls. In demolishing South Africa by nine wickets in the semifinal, the Black Caps now fancy another upset, with the weight of a nation on their opponents.
New Zealand won the toss and bowled primarily because they want to chase on what looks a pretty good pitch. India scored 255, but at one stage seemed on course for over 300 but the Black Caps took four for 28 late on, with Jimmy Neesham turning his figures around, to restrict the total. India are still favorites, but if Allen can get in again, all bets are off.
