T20 World Cup 2026 .

Wow. I didn't see that win coming when England were 2/2, but well done to Jacks (yet again) and Ahmed for getting England home.

So unless West Indies do the unexpected, it'll be a semi-final with India at the Wankhede on Thursday.

[bwildered]

 Another dodgy start. But the middle order kept their composure and left enough wickets to have a slap.
Semi was the par place for Baz to keep the doubters at bay.

 WIndies powerhouse lose to the joint hosts in a quarterfinal eliminator.
So down to the last four . A India v South Africa final the favourite bet, but a well timed innings or a great piece of fielding or bowling  can be all the difference in winning and losing in tight matches.
 Time for Bazball to come up with the goods.

If there's ever a match for Jos Buttler to rediscover his form, this is it. India are vulnerable, but everything needs to go right for England to win.

Let?s hope so dp.

 Well 30 ball century saw off the South Africans , so well done Finn Allen in putting the Kiwis in the final.

So who will be their opposition, the hosts or Brooks Bazballers .

Who cares? Little media coverage in the UK.

I think India will be far too strong for England, unless Buttler, Salt and Brook all have one of their best days. Fingers crossed.

 Slapathon over, got out Bazball by the IPL superstars.
Great effort to get even  close to that total, where cameos needed to be that little better. Seven runs deceiving though where catches win matches .

[dazedpenguin]

Those 2 Axar Patel catches and the Brook drop had a huge impact on the outcome. But England were below par with the ball, Jacks and Rashid excepted. If Archer had a better day then England would have won. That Bethell innings was top class though. The youngest England player to make a hundred in all 3 formats. Remarkable.

The fielding coach will sort it out.

[squarelegumpire]

It was the Brook drop which really caused the problem.

[bwildered]

 We will never know how the drop help or hindered the final total with there batting line up . Bethall should have got MOTM with that knock. What was interesting was the comparison score at about 15/16 overs, surprisingly was almost identical in runs and wickets . So it shows the flood gates opened in the final bowling overs .
Time of the Baz era to end has results do not reflect the talk . Let?s  put it another way,  NZ in the final.

Also shows India have Bumrah, who's a different level to anyone else.

And who apparently spends hours practising his yorkers, which might explain his exceptional control of them.
