India survived a brilliant hundred from Jacob Bethell and moved within one win of becoming the first nation to claim back-to-back men's Twenty20 World Cup titles after beating England by seven runs in a nail-biting semi-final on ‌Thursday, Reuters reported.
India will also be chasing a record third T20 title when they take on New Zealand in Sunday's final in Ahmedabad.
Put in to bat in front of a packed Wankhede Stadium awash in blue, the hosts racked up an imposing 253-7 as Sanju Samson struck a commanding 89, supported by fluent contributions from Shivam Dube and Ishan Kishan, according to Reuters.
