Sanju Samson Puts Up Blazing Fifty After Early Lifeline in T20 World Cup 2026 Semi-final

The Samson-Jofra Archer match-up was one of the most discussed topics before the high-octane knockout fixture, and the English speedster had almost claimed another breakthrough for the side after Abhishek Sharma’s dismissal in the second over.

Following a boundary off the first ball, Samson had smashed the subsequent delivery straight towards Harry Brook at mid-on. But the England skipper failed to grab the easy catch, gifting a lifeline to the in-form player. Samson went on to hit a huge 88 metre over-boundary, followed by a four in the same over off the pacer.
