At a stage when England were threatening to take control of the chase, Bumrah once again showcased why he is regarded as one of the best death bowlers in world cricket.<\/p>\n<p>With England cruising and momentum shifting their way, Bumrah was handed the responsibility of bowling the 18th over. He began with a pinpoint yorker to Sam Curran, nailing the blockhole and denying any room for a big shot. On the second delivery, he produced another yorker at the stumps, restricting Curran to just a single.<\/p>\n<p>Jacob Bethell, who was batting brilliantly, faced the third ball. Bumrah bowled a dipping yorker outside off, conceding only a single. The fourth delivery was a rare miss, a low full toss on the pads, which Curran clipped to midwicket for two runs. However, Bumrah quickly regained control. The fifth ball, another full delivery at the stumps, allowed just a single to mid-on.<\/p>\n<p>To cap off the over, Bumrah executed a perfect yorker at Bethell\u2019s toes. The left-hander could only squeeze it out to midwicket for a single. In total, the over yielded just six runs, a remarkable effort considering the match situation and the pressure of a high-scoring semi-final.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Bumrah had also bowled a tight 16th over that conceded just eight runs. He finished with impressive figures of 1\/33 in his four overs, but his impact went beyond the numbers. The disciplined 18th over significantly dented England\u2019s momentum and tightened India\u2019s grip on the contest.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the match, India had posted a daunting 253\/7 in their 20 overs, powered by Sanju Samson\u2019s explosive 89 off 42 balls. For England, Will Jacks (2\/40) and Adil Rashid (2\/41) were among the wickets. In reply, Jacob Bethell kept England alive with a sensational 105 off 48 balls, while Hardik Pandya\u2019s 2\/38 proved vital in India\u2019s narrow win.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"font-semi mb-0\"><span class=\"d-none d-md-inline\">Get every cricket updates!<!-- --> <\/span>Follow Us<!-- -->:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crictracker.com\/cricket-news\/t20-world-cup-2026-jasprit-bumrahs-pinpoint-yorkers-in-18th-over-prove-decisive-against-england-3953\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jasprit Bumrah delivered one of the most crucial overs of the match in the 18th over of India\u2019s T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final clash against England on March 5 at the Wankhede Stadium.
