Jasprit Bumrah Team Indias pace spearhead clinched a commanding 68run win over England in the T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal at Providence Guyana on a memorable Thursday. By trapping Jofra Archer lbw in the intense 17th over the rightarm speedster sealed the victory with flair and determination.
The dismissal came in the 17th over, when Jasprit Bumrah returned to finish the funeral rituals. The right-arm speedster’s delivery clipped Archer on the rear boot, prompting the umpire to raise his finger, but the Barbadian requested a review.
Ball-tracking revealed that it would have clipped leg-stump, and the verdict stood, knocking England out of the competition and propelling India to the final. Here is the video of the dismissal:
