India secured a spot in the T20 World Cup final after a commanding 68-run victory over defending champions England in Guyana on Thursday. Jasprit Bumrah was instrumental in the win, picking up two key wickets, including the final dismissal of Jofra Archer, which ended the match.

The game concluded in a somewhat awkward moment when Bumrah attempted to shake hands with the umpire, only to be left hanging until the third umpire confirmed the dismissal. Despite the brief confusion, India's players celebrated their victory, having bowled England out for 103 while chasing a target of 172.

This win is especially sweet for India, who were defeated by England in the semi-finals of the 2022 T20 World Cup. This time, India's adaptability and teamwork shone through as they dominated with both bat and ball.

India's final opponent will be South Africa, who defeated Afghanistan by nine wickets in the first semi-final. Both teams remain unbeaten in the tournament, setting the stage for a thrilling final in Barbados on Saturday.

India are aiming to win their first major title since the 2013 Champions Trophy. Their last attempt at a major title ended in disappointment when they lost to Australia in the 50-over World Cup final on home soil last year. The upcoming final offers a chance for redemption and a shot at reclaiming their status as world champions.
