Buttler, Hales complete demolition job as England reach final

It’s been an authoritative performance from Jos Buttler and Alex Hales as England storm into the final of the T20 World Cup thanks to their unbeaten opening partnership. Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya gave India some respectability with their stand, but Hales and Buttler were simply outstanding in reply. Rohit Sharma struggled with the bat once again, and in the second innings he looked devoid of ideas as a result of the pyrotechnics by the English openers. Buttler hit three boundaries against Bhuvneshwar in the first over, and Hales aggravated India’s problems with his breathtaking knock. Their dovetailing was too hot to handle for India and they were rendered hapless in the second half.
