India Beats England in T20 World Cup Semifinal; Samson Credits Bumrah's Bowling

India defeated England by seven runs in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 semifinal at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, securing a place in the final against New Zealand. Sanju Samson scored a match-winning 89 off 42 balls and received the Player of the Match award. However, Samson credited Jasprit Bumrah's exceptional death-over bowling, conceding just 33 runs in four overs and taking one wicket, as crucial to India's victory. Several teammates and experts praised Bumrah as a 'once-in-a-generation' bowler whose performance under pressure was decisive in defending a high total of 253.
