T20 World Cup: Jacob Bethell hammered a mesmerising century, but his effort went in vain as India rode on superb death bowling by Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, which helped the hosts scamper to a seven-run victory in Semifinal 2 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, taking the hosts to their second successive final.

Bethell hammered fifty in 19 balls and 100 in 45 balls as he kept England in the hunt, the two-time champions reaching the last three overs needing 45 runs from 19 balls as they chased a massive score of 253/7 posted by India, riding on a brilliant 89 by Sanju Samson.

Bumrah bowled a brilliant 18th over, conceding only six runs, and Pandya followed it up by giving nine runs and taking the crucial wicket of Sam Curran as England's innings disintegrated.
