"That was an epic performance": Eoin Morgan goes all praise for Jos Buttler and England after they decimate India in T20 World Cup 2022 semi- final

Team England have not only shut the T20 World Cup 2022 final door for India at their faces, but have done so in the most humiliating manner possible, after defeating them by 10 wickets during the second semi-final at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday.

En route the rather modest target of 168/6 posted by India upon being invited to bat first, England made a mockery of the entire Indian bowling attack without any discrimination of sorts, to chase down the total in mere 16 Overs.

The opening pair of skipper Jos Buttler (80* off 49) and Alex Hales (86* off 47) put their heads down to go about their business, and in the process of securing the grand finale berth, broke records galore during the scintillating run-chase.

Also, this the highest-ever stand for any pair in all the eight editions of the the T20 World Cup.

Rohit Sharma (27 off 28) and Virat Kohli (50 off 40) did contribute, but batted way to slow, with the scorecard reading 62/2 after the 10-Over mark.
