T20 World Cup 2022: Top 10 funny memes after India's humiliating 10-wicket loss against England in the semi-final

England beat Team India comprehensively by 10 wickets in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2022 in Adelaide on Thursday, November 10. Alex Hales won the Player of the Match award for his magnificent knock (86* off 47) in the chase.

Team India batted first in the contest after losing the toss. On the back of Hardik Pandya's sensational half-century, the Men in Blue managed to reach 168/6 in 20 overs. Virat Kohli also chipped in with an anchoring half-century. Adil Rashid (1/20) and Chris Jordan (3/43) were the picks of the English bowlers.

At the end of the first innings, the Men in Blue might have thought they had a respectable score on the board. However, it was not to be, as the English openers got off to a flying start. Jos Buttler led the way by negating Bhuvneshwar Kumar's swing in the first over and smashing him for a couple of boundaries.

Hales joined in on the fun soon after and took the attack to the bowlers. The duo batted aggressively and showed no mercy to the bowlers as they capitalized on the short square boundaries to smash sixes.

The bowlers looked helpless amidst the onslaught, which led to the dropping of the fielders' shoulders. Hales and Buttler powered their side to 170/0 in 16 overs and booked a date with Pakistan in the final on Sunday, November 13.

Speaking at the post-match presentation, Hales reflected on the spectacular batting performance and said:

"It would be right up there for sure. It's the huge occasion, against India in the semi-finals of the World Cup. A massive moment for us. This is one of the best grounds in the world.
"Especially in the powerplay with the short square boundaries. It's a ground I have good memories of and enjoy batting at. I never thought I'll play in the World Cup again. This is one of the best nights of my career. Jos (Buttler) was fantastic as well."
