मराठीत आढावा: Marathi Preview link at bottom:

India have the worst catching efficiency among the Super 8 teams at the T20 World Cup

England, meanwhile, have the best

Could catching be the difference in SF1 🤔

By  Sachin Tendulkar:

You can measure runs, partnerships, and strike rates, but the real stat here is intent. Loved the positive approach with the bat and the cool heads in the field. That’s the mindset you want in knockout cricket.

Great to see Sanju Samson carry his form into this match and set the tempo early!

Eyes on the final. 🇮🇳
