Samson Sees India Through To Semis! T20 World Cup

In this episode, we break down a night of pure theatre at Eden Gardens as Sanju Samson played a knock for the ages to send India into the T20 World Cup 2026 semi-finals. Chasing a daunting 196 in what was effectively a virtual quarter-final against the West Indies on 1 March, Samson silenced the critics with a breathtaking 97 off just 50 balls*. We dive deep into the tactical mastery of Samson’s innings, which featured 12 fours and 4 sixes, guiding India to a 5-wicket victory with 4 balls to spare. We also recap a frantic final 72 hours of Super 8 action that decided the final four. From South Africa’s clinical 5-wicket win over Zimbabwe to secure the top spot in Group 1, to Pakistan’s heartbreaking exit despite a thrilling 5-run victory over Sri Lanka on 28 February—where Sahibzada Farhan’s heroic century (100 off 60) wasn't enough to overcome New Zealand’s superior net run rate.
