England's T20 World Cup title defence faltered with a 68-run semi-final loss to India. Captain Jos Buttler did not blame the defeat on his decision to bowl first after winning the toss, attributing it instead to being outplayed. Despite the rain delay and wet outfield, Buttler's preference for chasing influenced his choice. India's Rohit Sharma scored a half-century, leading to a challenging 171-7. England struggled, falling to 49-5 and succumbing to Indian spinners Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. India advances to face South Africa in the final.
