IT'S A BUTT KICKING!

ENGLAND'S reign as T20 world champions was ended in brutal fashion by India their batting hopelessly exposed in a 68-run semifinal defeat.

Eight months ago England held both white-ball crowns.

And while this T20 World Cup has been an improvement on the 50-over debacle in India last year, they were outclassed here.

On an awkward surface at Guyana's Providence Stadium, a low and slow turner that required guile and impeccable judgement, India found their way to 171 for seven while England stumbled to 103 all out.

Only two of their top six managed double figures as they lacked the tools to take on an outstanding attack that reduced their plans to ruins.

While India will head to Barbados for tomorrow's final against South Africa, their beaten opponents head for home after a turbulent campaign. Head coach Matthew Mott and captain Jos Buttler (left, main picture) arrived in the Caribbean with their jobs under scrutiny.
