103/10 in Providence, 2024
In the high-stakes semifinal of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, England were skittled out for a mere 103 runs by a clinical Indian bowling attack in Providence. The spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel ran riot over the English batters, taking three wickets each. Meanwhile, India scored 171/7 while batting first and won by a huge margin, reaching the final where they defeated South Africa. Rohit Sharma (57) starred with the bat for India.

India scored 170/4 in the first innings thanks to Rohit's 55*.
