The 2nd semifinal of the T20 World Cup 2026 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai transformed into a spectacular show as India comprehensively neutralized the formidable England threat.

In a match that will be remembered for generations, the defending champions India held their nerve in a high-octane run-fest to secure a thrilling 7-run victory over England.

Batting first, India posted a mammoth 253 on the board, heavily fuelled by an explosive 89-run masterclass from Sanju Samson. Despite England's valiant counter-attack that took them to 246, the Indian bowling attack perfectly executed their death-overs strategy to choke the run flow when it mattered most. The sheer volume of boundaries hit made it an absolute nightmare for the bowlers, but a pure visual delight for the fans.

This unforgettable India versus England clash did not just decide a finalist; it completely rewrote the record books for aerial dominance. The breathtaking semi-final set a brand-new benchmark for the most sixes in a T20 World Cup match, with a staggering 34 maximums clearing the ropes.

This incredible feat surpassed the previous record set earlier in the very same 2026 tournament, where West Indies and Zimbabwe combined to smash 31 sixes, also at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Before the 2026 edition turned into a boundary-hitting carnival, the long-standing record belonged to the Netherlands and Ireland, who famously hit 30 sixes during their thrilling encounter in Sylhet back in 2014.

India features prominently on this elite list yet again, as their 2026 clash against Zimbabwe in Chennai witnessed a massive 28 sixes. Rounding out the top five is another high-scoring 2026 fixture, where England and Italy combined to hit 25 sixes at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
