T20 WC 2026: India 119/2 After 10 Overs; Rashid Removes Kishan Ending 97-Run Partnership In Semi-Final

India’s explosive start against England in the T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium saw a setback as England finally broke the key partnership between Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson. Spinner Adil Rashid deceived Kishan in the air, ending a 97-run stand that had put India firmly in control of the innings.

Despite the breakthrough, India remains ahead in the contest, with Samson still at the crease and looking to continue his destructive innings. The partnership had set the tone for India’s aggressive approach in the powerplay, ensuring a strong platform for the middle overs.

Earlier, Samson had reached a 50 off just 26 balls, while Kishan played with intent to keep the scoreboard ticking. The duo’s performance has put India in a commanding position, making it challenging for England to regain momentum despite the wicket.

As the innings progresses, all eyes are on Samson to consolidate India’s advantage and push toward a challenging score, while England looks to make further inroads through their bowling attack.
