Vaughan reckoned Rohit Sharma's side was the best in the tournament and should easily go on to win the final like last November.
Barbados: It was a night to remember for the Indian cricket team as they beat England by 68 runs in Guyana to seal a berth for themselves in the T20 World Cup 2024 final. With the final set to take place in a day’s time in Barbados, former England captain Michael Vaughan seems to have jinxed India’s chances. Responding to former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer, Vaughan reckoned Rohit Sharma’s side was the best in the tournament and should easily go on to win the final like last November. Last November, Australia beat India in the ODI World Cup final.
Vaughan’s response to Jaffer read: “Nice to hear from you Wasim .. It’s been a while .. Very good performance from India .. The best team so far in the WC & should win the final easily like last Nov.”

Batting first, India rode on knocks from Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav to post 171/7 in 20 overs. In reply, England succumbed to the spin-twins of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel as the duo shared six wickets between them. In the end, England were all out for 103 in 16.4 overs.
Both India and South Africa are unbeaten in the tournament which invariably means it would be the battle of the equals. But again, when one looks at the margins of the wins – India have won most games handsomely, while that is not the case with South Africa.
