The batter, Ben Stokes, eventually led England to victory. After Alex Hales handed them an early lead, it appeared that the 142-run pursuit would be a piece of cake for them. England scored 75 runs in 44 balls, thanks to Hales and skipper Jos Buttler, but they faltered in the middle overs and were reduced to 129/6 at the end of the 18th. England crossed the finish line thanks to Chris Woakes’ four in the penultimate over, which was followed by Stokes finishing off the remaining runs. The tournament’s hosts and defending champions, Australia, have also been eliminated as a result of England’s passage to the semifinals.
