In a thrilling encounter at Eden Gardens, India secured their place in the T20 World Cup semi-finals with a five-wicket victory over the West Indies, thanks to an outstanding unbeaten 97 from Sanju Samson. Chasing a target of 196, India faced early challenges but Samson's explosive 50-ball innings, which included 12 fours and four sixes, propelled them to victory with four balls to spare. This win not only eliminated the West Indies but also set up a semi-final clash against England in Mumbai on Thursday, marking the third consecutive T20 World Cup where these two teams will meet in the semi-finals. "It means the whole world to me... I think this is the day I was waiting for," said Samson, who was named player of the match (Nukta Latest, The Guardian).
