India and England, two teams with comparable firepower, squared off at the Adelaide Oval in the Men’s T20 World Cup’s second semifinal matchup on Thursday in a sunny Adelaide. While we all anticipated that it is going to be a great match, the outcome of the match changed our perception not only of the Indian team but also of T20 cricket.
On Thursday, Jos Buttler and Alex Hales, the team’s openers, broke the record for the best opening stand in Men’s T20 World Cup history, propelling England to the championship game with a decisive 10-wicket victory against India.
In the T20 World Cup 2022 semifinal, Buttler (80 not out from 49 balls) and Hales (86 not out from 47) turned a chase of 169 seem easy, shattering records with their combined 170/0.
The partnership between the two England players surpassed the previous record-setting opening stand in a Men’s T20 World Cup, which was 152 between Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam against India in 2021.
Their combined 170 is now the biggest wicket-sharing combination in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup history.
