So, it's set. A Sunday final between India and New Zealand at Ahmedabad. We'll have a three-time champion or a new one. Can't wait for it can ya? To soothe yourself in the meantime, check out our match-pieces and videos. It'll prepare you perfectly for the big night. For now, it's thanks and goodbyes from me, Ekanth, Alan Gardner, our scorers Thilak Ram and M Venkat Raghav and everyone here from ESPNcricinfo.

Suryakumar Yadav, India captain Unbelievable feeling. Playing in India, leading an unbelievable side. Samson knew what he knew right when he went in. Team required it from him, it was due. I told Harry how much more do we need to score against them. They were always in the chase, but the way the bowlers pulled the game away was unbelievable. You know how capable Bumrah is. We need to give credit to T Dilip, our fielding coach. Boys are responding well. Guys have been going the extra yard, that's showing up. Till No. 3 all is settled, as soon as we saw Rashid, Dube was the perfect match up. Was very nervous, heart rate would've been 160-175. The moment we entered, it was already 80% full, hope we gave the crowd a good game. Going for the title in India there will be pressure, but the players and support staff will be excited.

Harry Brook, England captain We thought there might've been hold, spin in the first inns, slid onto the bat nicely and India batted well. I'll hold my hands up and admit I made a big mistake dropping Samson. We weren't good enough in the field. We misexecuted, and can't afford to do that against India. Bethell was absolutely unbelievable, he'll earn some serious money. To see him taking it from ball one, showed the world what he can do. We had a good tournament, we should be extremely proud of how we played. We stuck to it the whole game, unfortunately we were on the wrong side.

Sanju Samson, POTM Feels great, I knew I got some form going from the last game. I thought I need to make the most out of my form, gave myself extra time. We know no score is stoppable, wanted as much as possible. England came close, played really well. Good semi-final. You need to assess conditions, we've played a lot of cricket here, know chasing is easier. But the way myself and Ishan was batted, we knew 250 should be possible. Very happy. All credit goes to Bumrah, once in a generation. Think this award should go to him. Unbelievable feeling to play here, we wanted to put in a positive result. Hundred doesn't matter, it's not a Test or an ODI game where you can go up and down. Happy to get whatever I'm getting and in a winning effort.

Vivek: "Varun is a worry for India .they will be tempted to try Kuldeep in final"

10:51pm What a magnificent run-fest we've had for a semi-final. 499 runs and 34 sixes in the game. It came down to the final over and the hosts scraped through to set up the first ever India New Zealand final at the T20 World Cup. Bethell tried his darnedest to deny India, even after Buttler, Salt and Brook fell cheaply. Jacks and he put on 77, then Curran joined for a 50 stand more, but it wasn't to be. At the death, SKY bowled his best bowlers first and that gave Dube enough to defend. Bumrah was brilliant with his yorkers as was Hardik. Arshdeep mixed his lines too. A word for Axar's catching, which earned the wickets of Harry Brook and Will Jacks.

Dube to Archer, SIX, Another six over long-off. Low full toss just outside off, Archer's front leg makes a bit of room and the bat comes down with might

mark: "only difference between the two sides, England bowled to short and made it easy for the batsman, India bowled very full, harder to hit. archer had a nightmare"

Dube to Archer, 1 run, All but over, mathematically too. Attempted yorker, Archer looks to drive it straight. Inside edges it onto pad
