England hammered New Zealand and  Reach the T20 World Cup Final

 

England powered into their second World Twenty20 final as they defeat New Zealand by seven wickets in Delhi.

Batting first, the previously unbeaten Black Caps raced to 89-1 after 10 overs, with Colin Munro blasting 46.

But England came back superbly to restrict them to 153-8, with Ben Stokes taking three wickets at the death as New Zealand scored just 20 off their last four overs.

Jason Roy hit a 44-ball 78 as England reached the target in 17.1 overs.

Eoin Morgan’s side will play West Indies or India in Kolkata on Sunday.

Making it to the final completes a remarkable turnaround from last year’s World Cup, where England were humiliatingly knocked out in the group stages, while New Zealand reached the final.

New Zealand 153-8 (20 overs): Munro 46, Williamson 32 and Stokes 3-26

England 159-3 (17.1 overs): Roy 78, Buttler 32, Sodhi 2-42
