Rohit Sharma Vs Jos Buttler? The openers' battle

Rohit Sharma has blown hot and cold, but came real good against Australia. Overall, he has scored 191 runs in six games, while Jos Buttler also has 191 in seven games. Who will come out on top in Guyana?

Kuldeep Yadav Vs Adil Rashid? Spin it to win it?

Kuldeep has been super effective for India since the time he was slotted in for Siraj. On the other hand, Rashid has not been at his best but can cause serious trouble if he gets in his groove. Should be an exciting contest.

We are under ten minutes away from the all-important toss at the Providence in Guyana.

The toss has been officially delayed due to wet outfield in Guyana. However, it is not raining though. We should have updates soon.

Dry with not much details about the toss. However, the movement around Providence is promising. Expect an update in around half an hour or so.

The covers are starting to come off in Guyana. However, there is also a slight drizzle that could make us scratch the first statement.

Smile because the sun is out! The fans are slowing starting to fill in. We should have an update on the toss very soon.

England skipper Jos Buttler won the toss and has opted to bowl first at the Providence Stadium.

India: Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah

England: Philip Salt, Jos Buttler(w/c), Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley

Rohit Sharma and India are up and running. A thickish outside edge that runs away to the boundary past short third.

India must think twice on how the surface is behaving. Looks like a 150-160 surface. Not much bounce. Could get harder to bat as the game goes on.

Reece Topley sends Virat Kohli packing for nine. On a length, dragged it slightly back and boom. One down.

Rohit Sharma has found some rhythm and is motoring along at a good pace on a very tricky surface in Guyana.

End of the powerplay and India have lost two wickets. However, they still have their skipper who is looking good, full of intent.

The match officials stayed a little persistent and allowed play to continue with rain around. However, it seems like it very slow drizzle.

It's raining now in Guyana and they seem super heavy. Players, officials rush for cover as the umbrellas go up. A bit more, raining cats and dogs now.

Good news from Guyana. The covers are coming off as the sun starts to shine bright. This should not be a huge break, play expected to resume soon.

And we have a restart time from the Providence in Guyana. The play is set to resume again at 11.10 pm IST. No overs lost. India are 65 for the loss of wickets after eight overs.

And the halfway mark. India are 77 for two and have a platform set in place for the launch with lots of batting left in the tank. Can they capitalise?

India skipper Rohit Sharma now has scored 5,000 runs as captain in international cricket. The Men in Blue will now be hoping for more.

A fifty for Rohit Sharma, and it has come in decent time. Remarkable batting. A 36-ball half-century on a surface where the ball is not coming on to the bat as expected. Shows Rohit's class.

Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma take the attack to Curran, scoring 19 runs of his second over. Things starting to look really good for India.

Adil Rashid gets a much-needed wicket for England. Rohit goes for 57. A 73-run partnership broken. The wrist spinner finished with figures of 1/25.

India lose Suryakumar not very long after Rohit Sharma, and England are happy. Super Happy. Archer with a slower ball that Suryakumar tried to hit out of the park but was holed out at long-on.

Chris Jordan had the last laugh after getting hit for two sixes from Hardik Pandya, but the all-rounder has managed to get crucial runs for the side. India will be looking for something around 170. Can they? Jadeja will be crucial.

India get to 171/7 in their 20 overs. With the surface starting to misbehave and keep low, considering Kuldeep, Axar and Jadeja, Rohit Sharma's men will be quite happy with the score.

Phil Salt and Jos Buttler start decently, with no rash shots. England are up and running. Can they survive Bumrah, Kuldeep to get over the line?

No way with the man of Buttler's class is going to miss out on those. Good over for England. 13 from it. 26 for none after three.

Axar Patel gets the big fish of his very first ball. Jos Buttler tried to play a reserve sweep but the ball hits the toe end of the bat, in the air and to Pant.

What change of pace. What a delivery. Bumrah sends Salt back with a sensational delivery. England in trouble. If you are a young cricketer, learning about change of pace, that's your clip.

India have three, Axar has two. England are in a spot of bother, they look rattled and have no where to go. Can Brook and Ali mastermind a chase?

India right on top in Guyana. Axar now has three. India have England exactly where they want them to be.

India are all over England like a rash. They have lost half their side for just 49 runs and is it all delaying the inevitable? Or is their a twist in the tale?

Brook goes and England's hopes too? Kuldeep doing Kuldeep things. India in complete command now. That looks England almost done.

It sure is a thing of beauty. Especially with the right amount of drift. Kuldeep Yadav finishes with expectional figures of 3-19 in four overs.

England are now 86-8 in a T20 World Cup semi-final chasing 172. They look down, out and buried. India just did not allow them to get away. Incredible stuff.

India are through to the finals of the T20 World Cup after a stunning show at the Providence in Guyana. They convincingly beat England by 68 runs.

"India certainly outplayed us. We let them get 20-25 runs too many. It was a challenging surface, they played well on. They fully deserved this win. Very different conditions (than 2022), credit to India. They played a very good game of cricket. With the rain around, didn't expect the conditions to change too much. Don't think it really did. They outbowled us. They had an above-par score. Don;t think toss was necessarily the difference between the teams. They've got some fantastic spinners. In hindsight, should have bowled Moeen in that innings with the way spin was bowling. We are really proud of everyone's effort. We stuck together, came up short when it mattered the most."

"Very satisfying to win this game. We worked really hard as a unit. To win this game like that was a great effort from everyone. We adapted to the conditions really well. It was a challenge and we adapted. We played the conditions really well. If the players play according to the conditions, things falls in place. Very pleasing with how we came through. At one stage, 1450-150, as the game went on, after that partnership, we said another 25 runs. I can set the target in my mind, but I don't want to let anyone know about it, to the batters. They are all instinctive players. I thought 170 was a very good surface."

India have set up their final date with South Africa at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. Thank you for joining, and until then, take care and goodbye!
