England has advanced to the final.

With a stunning ten-wicket victory over India at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday morning, England advanced to the championship match. India chose to bat first and gave Jos Buttler’s team what appeared to be a challenging 169-run victory target.

Buttler and his opening partner Alex Hales set to work, though, and with a masterful batting performance, they quickly chased down the score. Hales’ 86 off 47 and Buttler’s 80 off 49 balls helped England reach the score in just 16 overs.

England is the favourite to take it home.

Team England has been in fine form in this world cup and the captain praised his team and players for their wonderful efforts.  The semi-final victory was by far their best performance of the tournament. England has a strong team dynamic, and that’s where the performance comes from. The team has some outstanding players, and when they perform at their peak, they are a difficult team to defeat.

Moreover, the squad seems very confident, and even if there have been times during the tournament when they haven’t played their best, but still managed to get to the World Cup semifinals. It’s crucial that they take in the performance, but they must also be careful not to get carried away. The tournament’s pivotal match is still to come. It’s definitely going to be a fantastic event.
