Samson’s innings was strong
Samson, who came to start the innings, got a lease of life on the score of 15 runs when captain Harry Brook dropped an easy catch on the ball of Jofra Archer.

Samson became the Indian with the highest innings in knockout matches
Samson now becomes the Indian batsman with the joint highest innings in the knockout matches of the T20 World Cup. Let us tell you that Virat Kohli had scored unbeaten 89 runs in the 2016 semi-final match against West Indies. Talking about world cricket, only Finn Allen (100* vs South Africa, 2026) and Tillakaratne Dilshan (96* vs West Indies, 2009) have been able to play bigger innings than the Indian batsmen in the knockout matches of the T-20 World Cup.
Dubey made this unwanted record
Indian all-rounder Shivam Dubey played an inning of 43 runs in 25 balls. He hit 1 four and 3 sixes. He was run out in an unfortunate manner. With this, Dubey became the second batsman to be run out thrice in a T20 World Cup edition. Earlier in 2007, while captaining the Indian team, Mahendra Singh Dhoni was also run out in 3 innings.
Indian team made these records
This is only the second score of more than 200 runs in a T20 World Cup knockout. Earlier in the 2012 semi-final, West Indies had scored 205/4 against Australia in Colombo. This is the Indian team’s second score of 250+ runs in the T20 World Cup 2026. In such a situation, India has become the first country which has scored more than 250 runs twice in this tournament.
Bethel scored a century
When England lost their second wicket while chasing the target, Bethel came to the crease. As soon as he came, he batted aggressively and hit 3 consecutive sixes in Varun Chakraborty’s over. Batting incredibly under pressure, he completed his half-century in just 19 balls. He batted bravely and converted his innings into a century during the last overs. He was out after scoring 105 runs in 48 balls.
Bethel became the second fastest century batsman in T20 World Cup
Bethel became the second fastest batsman to score a century in the history of T20 World Cup. He completed his century in 45 balls. Let us tell you that New Zealand’s Finn Allen became the batsman to score the fastest century (33 balls vs South Africa). The record of the third fastest century in this list is held in the name of West Indies’ Chris Gayle (47 balls vs England, 2016).
