Shameful record in the name of Adil Rashid.
Mumbai. The second semi-final match of T20 World Cup 2026 is being played between India and England on Thursday. A shameful record has been registered in the name of English spin bowler Adil Rashid at Wankhede ground. Rashid has become the first bowler in the world to hit more than 200 sixes in T20 International cricket. Adil Rashid’s performance in the semi-final match was disappointing. In the spell of 4 overs, Rashid spent 41 runs and took 2 wickets. He took the wickets of Ishan Kishan and Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav. Rashid proved to be very expensive and he gave runs at an economy of 10.20.
However, with taking 2 wickets in the semi-final against India, Adil Rashid has come third in the list of bowlers taking the most wickets in the T20 World Cup. He has left Rashid Khan behind. Rashid now has 44 wickets in his name in the T20 World Cup. Whereas, Rashid Khan has taken 43 wickets.
Shameful record in the name of Adil Rashid.
Batting first, the Indian team scored 253 runs on the scoreboard after losing 7 wickets in 20 overs. The Indian team, which came to bat first after losing the toss, did not have a good start. Abhishek Sharma once again disappointed with his batting and he was out after scoring 9 runs after facing 7 balls. However, after this Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson took charge. Together, both of them made an important partnership of 97 runs in 45 balls for the second wicket. Facing just 18 balls, Ishaan played a strong inning of 39 runs with the help of 4 fours and 2 sixes.
At the same time, after West Indies, Sanju Samson appeared in excellent form in the semi-final match also. Sanju played a explosive inning of 89 runs facing only 42 balls. The wicketkeeper-batsman hit 8 fours and 7 sixes while playing at a strike rate of 211. However, Sanju could not complete his century and returned to the pavilion after being caught by Phil Salt on the ball of Will Jacques.
Captain Suryakumar Yadav could not show anything special with the bat and became the victim of Adil Rashid after scoring 11 runs in 6 balls. Shivam Dubey batted in a explosive style and played a strong inning of 43 runs in 25 balls. Tilak Verma scored 21 runs in 7 balls with the help of 3 sixes and he was clean bowled by Jofra Archer. Hardik Pandya scored 27 runs in 12 balls and was run out.
