England have booked their place in the T20 World Cup final after thrashing India by 10 wickets.

Jos Buttler (80) and Alex Hales (86) recorded the highest partnership in the tournament’s history as England made 170 without loss.

The pair hunted down the 169 target in impressive fashion to secure a spot in Sunday’s final.

Hales got to half a century in 28 balls and ended up hitting seven sixes, while Buttler needed 36 deliveries to get to 50 and rounded off the win by smashing a maximum.

England won with four overs to spare.

India’s innings at the Adelaide Oval saw Hardik Pandya score 63 off 33 balls (including five sixes) as they ended on 168/6. However, it proved too little to set up a game against fierce rivals Pakistan.

England only narrowly made the semi-final after beating Sri Lanka with two balls to spare.

Now though, they will head to Melbourne full of confidence as they hope to lift the trophy they last won in 2010.

Pakistan made the final after comfortably beating New Zealand on Wednesday.

It will be a double World Cup final for England this week as the women’s rugby union team play hosts and reigning champions New Zealand on Saturday.
