The 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup will conclude this weekend, with India set to take on South Africa in the final.
England won this tournament in 2022 but have failed to defend their title after losing in humiliating fashion to India in the semi-finals.
Jos Buttler’s side went from 26-0 to 49-5 in the space of five overs as they collapsed in their run chase to be knocked out.
It means India will face South Africa for glory on Saturday.
The Proteas thrashed Afghanistan in the first semi, bowling them out for 56 before cruising to a nine-wicket win.

T20 World Cup final: What has been said?
Speaking after England were knocked out Buttler said: “India outplayed us, certainly.
“We let them maybe get 20/25 too many on a challenging surface that they played well on. They fully deserved to win.
“With the rain around, we didn’t think the conditions would change and they didn’t – they just outplayed us and got a very good score. I don’t think the toss was the difference between us.
“They’ve got some fantastic spinners. Our two bowled well, but in hindsight, yeah, probably should’ve bowled Moeen [Ali] in our innings with the way spin was playing. But with a good score and their brilliant bowling attack, it was always going to be a tough chase.
“With everything that’s happened in the tournament I’m really proud of the group’s efforts. We’ve had a lot of adversity, but we have stuck together really well, we played good cricket in patches, but unfortunately, came up short when we needed it most.”
