Stats: Raining sixes and Bethell's unique feat

Stats highlights from the second semifinal at the Wankhede.

253/7 by India is the fourth-highest total in T20 World Cup history and the highest ever in a knockout game. The only previous 200+ score in a knockout was West Indies' 205/4 against Australia in the 2012 semifinal.

Highest totals in T20 World Cups

6 instances of India crossing 250+ in T20 cricket—the most by any team, surpassing Sunrisers Hyderabad's five. This was India's third 250+ total in T20Is in 2026, joint-most in a calendar year with SRH in IPL 2024.

499 runs were scored in the match (India 253, England 246), the second-highest aggregate in a T20I behind 517 (South Africa vs West Indies, Centurion 2023). It is the highest in a T20 World Cup, surpassing 459 (South Africa vs England, 2016). England's 246/7 is the highest T20I total against India, beating West Indies' 245/6 in 2016.

88 sixes by India in T20 World Cup 2026 is the most by a team in any T20 competition, surpassing Bulgaria's 78 in a 2025 tri-series. The next highest in this World Cup is West Indies' 76.

34 sixes were hit in the match (India 19, England 15), the most in a T20 World Cup game, beating 31 (West Indies vs Zimbabwe earlier in the tournament). Only three T20Is have seen more sixes. India's 19 sixes are joint-most in a T20 World Cup match, level with Netherlands (2014) and West Indies (2026).

203 sixes conceded by Adil Rashid—he is the first bowler to concede 200+ sixes in T20Is. He has given away 18 sixes in this World Cup, joint-most in a single edition with Hardik Pandya (also this edition). Jofra Archer is third with 17.

7 sixes conceded by Archer in this match is joint-most by a bowler in a T20 World Cup game, alongside Stuart Broad (2007) and Xavier Doherty (2012).

19 balls taken by Jacob Bethell for his fifty—joint-fastest in a T20 World Cup knockout, equalling Finn Allen's effort from yesterday. It is also the fastest for England in T20 World Cups, beating Will Jacks' 21-ball fifty earlier in the tournament.

105 by Bethell is the highest score in a T20 World Cup knockout game, surpassing Finn Allen's 100* yesterday. He became the first batter to score his maiden first-class, List A, and T20 century in international cricket.

This is only the third World Cup hundred in a losing cause, after Chris Gayle (2007) and Yuvraj Samra (2026).

64 runs conceded by Varun Chakaravarthy is joint second-most expensive in a T20 World Cup match; Saurabh Netravalkar conceded 65 earlier in the tournament, and Sanath Jayasuriya also conceded 64 in 2007. It is joint second-most expensive for India in all T20Is.
