India have roared into the final of their home T20 World Cup after not even a gloriously defiant century from England's Jacob Bethell could top the hosts' thunderous batting display as they eked out a thrilling seven-run win.
Sanju Samson, match-winnner in their do-or-die win over the West Indies, fired once again to crash 89 off 42 balls and lead India to 7-253, the fourth-highest total in the tournament's history, on Thursday (Friday AEDT).
Faced with a record-breaking chase, Bethell then kept Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium quiet for long periods as he plundered a 48-ball 105 to keep England dreaming.
