Alex Hales and Jos Buttler produced a batting masterclass as England thrashed India by 10 wickets to storm into the T20 World Cup final.
Hales, who was only selected in England’s squad after a freak injury to Jonny Bairstow, cleared the ropes seven times as even India’s spinners failed to restrict the run-rate.
While Hales was the aggressor for most of the innings, Buttler had almost caught up with his opening partner when he hit the winning runs, England cruising to the total with 10 wickets and 24 balls remaining.After being named Player of the Match, Hales said: ‘This would be right up there for me as my perfect innings. India in the semi-final, big occasion, I’m so happy with how I played, it’s special.
