Michael Vaughan was taken to task for posting that India defeated England on a 'lower slower spinning pitch'.

Michael Vaughan was heavily trolled after he took to social media to ‘congratulate’ India for beating defending champion England by 68 runs to reach the final of the 2024 T20 World Cup on Thursday.

“India throughly deserve to be in the final .. The best team in tournament so far .. Was always going to hard for England on this pitch .. India just so much better on lower slower spinning pitches,” he posted on X.

India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin had the best response to Michael Vaughan’s assessment.

∫ 1 dx = x + C. ∫ a dx = ax+ C. ∫ xn dx = ((xn+1)/(n+1))+C ; n≠1.Hence, India won. https://t.co/0xGRGCQtu4

Michael Vaughan’s well-wisher and nemesis, Wasim Jaffer too was quick to ask the former England captain if was all right after India won.

India will now face South Africa on Saturday at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados in a battle of the two unbeaten teams of the tournament.

Rohit Sharma’s (57) second half-century helped India compile 171/7 and Suryakumar Yadav also blunted the England pace and spin with a vital knock of 47 off 36 balls after more than 2-and-half hours of the second semifinal was lost due to rain and wet outfield.

Then spinners Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav then combined for 6/42 through some sharp turners as England got bowled out for 103 in 16.3 overs on a skiddy, low pitch devoid of grass to bow out of the tournament.

“If bowlers and batters adapt, things fall in place,” a beaming Sharma said.

“Axar and Kuldeep are gun spinners. (It was) tough to play shots against them in these conditions (and) they were calm under pressure,” he added.

The win was sweet revenge for India, which got hammered by England by 10 wickets in the 2022 World Cup semifinal at Adelaide, Australia.

“India outplayed us,” England captain Jos Buttler said.

“We let them get 20-25 runs too many on a challenging surface … they had an above-par total and it was always a tough chase,” he added.
