India’s seven-run win over England in the T20 World Cup semifinal had many heroes. Sanju Samson scored a brilliant 89 off 42 balls, while Jasprit Bumrah bowled well and kept an economy rate of 8.25 in a match where 499 runs were scored. However, vice-captain Axar Patel also made a big impact with two excellent catches.

After the match, the star all-rounder said that his favourite catch was the one he took to dismiss England captain Harry Brook. The catch became one of the best moments of the game and helped India stay in control.

Axar also played an important role in a brilliant relay catch that removed Will Jacks during a crucial stage of the chase. His effort on the field helped India reach their second straight T20 World Cup final and keep their title defence hopes alive.

Axar Patel’s Brilliant Catches Help India in T20 World Cup Semifinal

“I think my favourite one would be that of the captain, Harry Brook. I was running in the opposite direction, and my vision was also the other way,” Axar Patel said while speaking to ICC.

“Luckily, I stopped for a moment to judge which way to go. That is the tough part when you are running in the opposite direction. In the Will Jacks catch, I was running sideways, but catching one while running opposite is even more enjoyable,” he added.

Notably, Axar is known as one of India’s safest fielders and is famous for taking tough catches under pressure. In the 2024 T20 World Cup Super 8s match against Australia, he showed his skill again by taking an acrobatic catch to remove captain Mitchell Marsh.

Talking about the semifinal, India pacer Jasprit Bumrah bowled a slow cutter to dismiss Brook in the power play, and Axar took a brilliant backwards-running catch from the cover region. Later, with Will Jacks (35 off 20) and Jacob Bethell attacking in the middle overs, Axar made a superb catch in the deep to remove Jacks and end their 77-run partnership off 39 balls.

With Sam Curran joining Bethell, India needed 45 runs off the final three overs. Suryakumar Yadav brought Bumrah back for one last spell, and he gave away only six runs in the over, helping India maintain control.

England’s Jacob Bethell scored the second-fastest hundred in T20 World Cups during the semifinal against India at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday.

The youngster lit up the Wankhede Stadium with a sensational 45-ball century. He reached the milestone with a six off Hardik Pandya. However, his effort went in vain as England lost the match by seven runs and crashed out of the tournament. Bethell scored 105 off 48 balls, hitting eight fours and seven sixes, but England could only reach 246 for seven in 20 overs.

Bethell’s hundred is also the second century in a knockout match in T20 World Cup history, after Finn Allen, who scored a century against South Africa in Kolkata earlier in the tournament.

With England needing 30 runs in the final over, Bethell was run out at the striker’s end while trying to take a second run to keep the strike. His dismissal ended England’s hopes of winning the match.

Here is the complete list of the fastest hundreds in T20 World Cup history

Also read -List of fastest T20I centuries among full member nations ft. Finn Allen

1. Finn Allen vs South Africa, Kolkata 2026 (33 balls)

After restricting South Africa to 169/8 in 20 overs on March 4, New Zealand’s bowlers set up the match perfectly. Then it became the Finn Allen show. Allen smashed the fastest T20I century between two Full Member teams, reaching his hundred in just 33 balls during the T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final. Allen and Tim Seifert gave New Zealand a flying start. The pair took the team to 84/0 in the six-over powerplay. Seifert scored 58 before getting out, after which Rachin Ravindra joined Allen at the crease. The Kiwi opener completed his third T20I century in just 33 balls and finished the chase in style. New Zealand reached 173/1 in 12.5 overs to seal a big win and book their place in the final.

2. Jacob Bethell vs India, Mumbai 2026 (45 balls)

England’s Jacob Bethell played a brilliant innings to keep England in the chase at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Chasing a huge target of 254, the 21-year-old scored his maiden T20I century against a strong Indian bowling attack. Bethell reached his hundred in just 45 balls with a six off Hardik Pandya. It became the second-fastest century in T20 World Cup history. However, his effort was not enough. With England needing 30 runs in the final over, Bethell was run out while trying to take a second run. His dismissal ended England’s hopes of winning the match.

3. Chris Gayle vs England, Mumbai 2016 (47 balls)

Chris Gayle played a powerful innings against England in the 2016 T20 World Cup in Mumbai. His unbeaten century helped West Indies win the match by six wickets. Gayle reached his hundred in 47 balls and smashed 11 sixes during the innings. This was the joint-third fastest century in T20 internationals at that time. He also became the first player to score two centuries in T20 World Cup history. West Indies chased the target of 183 with 11 balls remaining. Gayle’s innings proved that England’s total was not enough.

4. Chris Gayle vs South Africa, Johannesburg 2007 (50 balls)

Chris Gayle made history in the first match of the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007. Playing against South Africa in Johannesburg, he scored a brilliant 117 runs from 57 balls. Gayle reached his century in just 50 balls and became the first player to score a hundred in T20 internationals. He also shared a 145-run opening partnership with Devon Smith. West Indies scored 205/6 in 20 overs. However, South Africa, inspired by Herschelle Gibbs, chased the target and won the match.

5. Harry Brook vs Pakistan, Pallekele 2026 (50 balls)

England captain Harry Brook played a match-winning innings against Pakistan in the Super 8 stage of the 2026 T20 World Cup. England were chasing 167 in an important match at the Pallekele International Stadium. Brook came to bat early and scored a brilliant century in 51 balls. He reached his hundred in just 50 deliveries. He hit 10 boundaries and four sixes during the innings. Brook also became the first captain in T20 World Cup history to score a century. His performance helped England win the match by two wickets.

For England, the encounter against New Zealand in their last Super 8 clash of the T20 World Cup 2026 was a mere fixture. However, for the Kiwis, it was a do-or-die situation. If they don’t win the fixture, then they won’t have their luck in their hand, with just one win in three clashes, and hope that Pakistan will lose their last game to clear their path for the semifinals.

The clash took place between the two finalists of the 2019 ODI World Cup at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, where batting hasn’t been an easy task, especially in the second innings, which saw the Kiwis winning the toss, opting to bat first as they saw how Sri Lanka crumbled the other evening.

Let’s take a look at the three key factors that will decide the ENG vs NZ Match 49

1.New Zealand’s middle overs’ batting 

In the previous clash against Sri Lanka, the Kiwis went off to a decent start with 44 runs on the board for the loss of two wickets. Rachin Ravindra batted well at number three for his 32 runs in 22 balls with the help of 145.45. But their middle order couldn’t contribute at all with the bat as they fell like a pack of cards.

Glenn Phillips was dismissed for 18 runs while Dayle Mitchell fell cheaply for only three runs, before Mark Chapman went back to the pavilion for the two-ball duck. It was only Mitchell Santner who dislodged the opposition bowling attack to carry them to a strong score of nearly 170 runs, which proved to be 61 runs extra. 

2. New Zealand’s spin bowling

On a slow surface, where the Kiwis would defend the score, their spin unit will be under pressure to perform and dry up the runs in the middle overs, besides picking up wickets. Ish Sodhi didn’t complete his full quota of four overs and returned with figures of 0/13 in two overs in the previous clash, while their left-arm spinner, Rachin Ravindra, bagged four wickets for 27 runs in four overs at an economy rate of 6.75.

Santner mixed his pace of the deliveries beautifully, besides using outrageous field placements along with the variations to end with figures of 1/19 in four overs. However, under pressure, he will be up against some of the greatest spin hitters of the England side, which will be a challenge and a critical factor in the game.

3. In-form Harry Brook’s form with bat

Harry Brook was batting in the middle order towards the beginning of the campaign before he, after a suggestion from coach Brendon McCullum, decided to bat at number three. Brook blasted a fine knock of 100 runs in 51 balls with the help of 10 boundaries and four sixes at a strike rate of 196.08. He was excellent in running between the wickets, besides taking on the Pakistan bowlers.

His role will remain the same to counter the New Zealand bowling attack. Their camp will also get to see their veteran wicket-keeper opening batter, Jos Buttler, return in form after a horrible campaign. If they do, they will head to India with confidence and unbeaten by winning all the games before the semifinal.

England will face New Zealand in the 49th match of the Super 8 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. England's performance in the Super 8 has been impressive, and they have already qualified for the semi-finals. They defeated Pakistan by two wickets in their previous match, successfully chasing down the target of 165 runs in 19.1 overs. Their captain, Harry Brook, was the star performer in the match, scoring 100 runs off 51 balls, including 10 fours and four sixes, and contributing significantly to their team's victory.

New Zealand, on the other hand, defeated Sri Lanka by 61 runs in their previous match. This match is very important for New Zealand; a win will ensure their qualification for the semi-finals. Against Sri Lanka, they displayed a superb bowling performance, restricting the Sri Lankan team to 107 runs for just 20 runs. Mitchell Santner was the star performer in the previous match, scoring 47 runs and taking one wicket. Tim Seifert scored 181 runs in the last 5 matches for New Zealand

Harry Brook delivered a brilliant performance in the T20 World Cup Super 8 match against Pakistan. The captain scored a century off 51 balls, hitting 10 fours and four sixes, and played a key role in helping the England national cricket team secure a place in the semi-finals. England won the match by two wickets with five balls remaining, and Brook’s innings proved to be the decisive factor.

On February 24, Brook became the first captain in tournament history to score a century. He led his team to a hard-fought victory over Pakistan in an important Super 8 clash at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.

Along with his outstanding batting performance, Brook also gained praise for his sportsmanship. After the match, a video showed him interacting with a wheelchair-bound fan inside the stadium. He shook hands with the fan and thanked him with a smile. The moment quickly went viral on social media and was widely appreciated by cricket fans as a kind and respectful gesture.

Brook Surpasses Virat Kohli

Harry Brook played a historic innings and passed many big records. This was the first T20 World Cup hundred scored against Pakistan. Earlier, the highest score against Pakistan in the tournament was 84 by Shakib Al Hasan in 2012.

Brook also went past the 82 not out score made by Virat Kohli in 2022 during a chase vs Pakistan. This innings made Brook one of the top players in World Cup chase history.

This was also the first time a captain scored a T20 World Cup hundred against Pakistan. The previous best captain score vs Pakistan was 84 runs by Jos Buttler in 2024.

Brook’s century became the fourth hundred of this T20 World Cup edition. He joined players like Alex Hales, Chris Gayle and Pathum Nissanka who also scored World Cup centuries during a chase.

The England captain also became the third English player to score a century in T20 World Cup history after Hales and Buttler.

England Winning Run Continues

Brook also batted at the number three position for the first time in his international career since his debut in 2022. The innings became one of the most memorable performances of the tournament.

Harry Brook’s T20I Career at a glance

Harry Brook scored 100 off 51 balls

In reply, Pakistan got a strong start, as England were struggling at 35/3 and 58/4. However, captain Harry Brook was the key factor, who promoted himself to the no.3 batting position. With the help of middle-order batters, Brook played an unforgettable innings. He became the first captain to score a century in the history of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, as the right-handed batter scored 100 off 51 balls with 10 fours and four sixes.

In Match 23 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, England clinched a five-wicket win over Scotland in a closely contested Group C fixture. Scotland set a target of 153 after being bowled out for 152 in 19.4 overs, showing promise through the middle stages of their innings. England’s bowlers maintained consistent pressure, striking at crucial moments to deny a late flourish. The chase was completed in 18.2 overs, as England reached 155/5 to secure valuable points and improve their standing.

Scotland’s total was built around a fluent 49 from captain Richie Berrington and a brisk 33 by Michael Jones at the top. Their 71-run partnership revived the innings after early setbacks and briefly put Scotland in control. However, England responded strongly through Adil Rashid, who claimed three key wickets, while Jofra Archer and Liam Dawson provided important breakthroughs. A sudden collapse from 113/3 halted Scotland’s momentum, as wickets fell in quick succession during the latter half of the innings.

England’s chase began cautiously after losing early wickets, but Jacob Bethell and Tom Banton steadied the innings with a composed partnership. Bethell contributed 32 before Banton assumed command, guiding the chase with a measured unbeaten 63 off 41 balls. Sam Curran added a valuable 28 to ease the pressure, and Will Jacks finished the job confidently. Despite Scotland’s efforts to create openings, England maintained control throughout, sealing a disciplined and well-earned five-wicket victory.

England are set to face West Indies in Match No. 15 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, a Group C showdown to be played on February 11 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The defending champions come into this clash after scraping through a tense encounter against Nepal, where the result was decided off the final delivery. While the victory kept their unbeaten record intact, England will be eager to iron out their flaws and produce a more authoritative display against a dangerous West Indies side.

West Indies, meanwhile, enter the contest brimming with confidence following a commanding win over Scotland in their previous outing. Shimron Hetmyer anchored the batting effort with a fluent knock, while Romario Shepherd was exceptional with the ball, claiming a sensational five-wicket haul. The Caribbean side showcased their depth and balance in that victory and will look to carry the same intensity and all-round dominance into this high-profile clash against England.

The camera and media were on England’s white-ball captain, Harry Brook, heading into the T20 World Cup 2026. The spotlight was on him to put up a good show during their opening encounter against Nepal at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai as he revealed his desire to carry the team in a good spirit both on and off the field, especially after the incident with the bouncer in Wellington. 

Harry Brook, batting at number five, in the seventh over of the innings with the wicket of Tom Banton, arrived in the middle and smashed his second delivery into the sweeper cover for a fine boundary. He used his power to club the leg spinner, Kusal Bhurtel, over the backward point region for a boundary. After the wicket of Jacob Bethell, the responsibility was on his shoulders.

Brook lofted the inside-out shot for a boundary against Sandeep Lamichhane while he backed his power and rocked back to loft the very next delivery over the long-on region for a massive six. On the second ball of the 14th over, he went on the back foot and clubbed the flat delivery over the same region for another six.

On the very first delivery of the 19th over, the England captain celebrated his half-century with a six that he punched on the back foot and pulled the delivery over the deep mid-wicket. But two balls later, he was dismissed for 53 runs in 32 balls with the help of four boundaries and three sixes.

Apart from Brook, Jacob Bethell had a good contribution with the bat as he thumped 55 runs in 35 balls with the help of four boundaries and as many sixes at a strike rate of 157.14, which held themselves from one end.

Meanwhile, Will Jacks provided them the late finish with an undefeated knock of 39 runs in 18 balls, out of which he nailed three boundaries in the last over against Karan KC to shoulder the side over the 180-run mark in their allotted 20 overs.

Brief Scores: England 184/7 (Jacob Bethell 55, Harry Brook 53, Dipendra Airee 2/23) vs Nepal.

In the 5th match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, it is England taking on Nepal at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. This is the first time these two sides have met in a T20I match. Harry Brook will captain the side and they have already announced the team for this match. England is regarded as one of the most complete sides in the competition and ranks third in the ICC Men's T20I rankings. 

On the other hand, Nepal have played a few warm-up games and done well. They beat Canada in the previous warm-up match and will be high on confidence. Nepal Qualified for the T20 World after winning all the group and super six games in the Asia & EAP Qualifier. Rohit Paudel will lead the Nepal side.
