Former England captain Michael Vaughan has not been a happy camper ever since India made it to the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2022 and were set to face England in the second semi-final on a spin-friendly track at Guyana. India eventually thumped England to make the final, even as Vaughan was at it with his tirade against India, accusing the ICC of favouring India with a favourable venue and favourable time for their semi-final fixture.
Yes, India’s semi-final fixture was pre-determined, but that was to keep the TV audience (Indian subcontinent). Vaughan went ahead, hinting that the Guyana track was a ‘lovely venue pick for India’.

“If England had beaten SA, they would have got the Trinidad semi, and I believe they would have won that game .. So no complaints they haven’t been good enough .. But Guyana has been a lovely venue pick for India .” wrote Vaughan replying to a tweet.

However, former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh had enough of Vaughan’s whining and took to X (formerly Twitter) to silence Vaughan once and for all, reminding the former England cricketer to stop talking nonsense all the time.

Rohit Sharma was the main man of India once again, leading the charge with a 39-ball 57 as India posted 171/7 after a lengthy rain delay at the Providence Stadium Guyana. On a slow wicket that was turning, India was above par by at least 15 runs, but England never got going in the chase, losing wickets at regular intervals and succumbing to the Indian spinners in no time. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav combined to pick six wickets between them, giving away just 42 runs in eight overs. England were bowled out of 103, losing the match by 68 runs.
