India vs England, 2nd Semi-Final at Adelaide | Full Highlights ICC T20 World Cup 2022.

On July 14, 2019, Alex Hales sat at home in Nottingham. On his iPad, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer went deep into the fifth set in an epic Wimbledon final; on his TV, England and New Zealand were going down to the wire in the most dramatic final that a Cricket World Cup has ever seen.

When Djokovic had closed out his win, Hales gave his full attention to the main screen and watched nervously as Jason Roy, his long-time opening partner, threw the ball to Jos Buttler, a close enough friend that Hales had been an usher at his wedding. Buttler broke the stumps to run Martin Guptill out, England celebrated, and Hales had no idea how to feel.

"It's probably one of the weirdest feelings I've had in my life," he said. "The joy of England winning a World Cup, and then thinking 'I probably should have been there, to be honest'. It was a tough thing to watch, battling joy and frustration. It eats at you inside that you should have been part of it and you weren't."

The worst part was that he only had himself to blame, dropped from the squad on the eve of the tournament after a failed test for recreational drugs proved to be one off-field misdemeanour too many. "Obviously there was anger at the time," Hales said. "But who else can you be angry at, really?"

On Sunday in Melbourne, three-and-a-half years later, Hales will have his shot at World Cup glory. His unbeaten innings of 86 off 47 balls in Thursday's semi-final, in an unbroken 170-run partnership with Buttler, inflicted a humbling defeat on India and ensured England's progress, giving them the opportunity to become the first men's team to hold both white-ball world titles simultaneously.

He started at the non-striker's end and had only faced a ball by the time Buttler had peeled off four boundaries in his first seven deliveries to get England ahead, but soon took charge himself. All the talk in the build-up had been about Adelaide Oval's long straight boundaries, but Hales cleared them twice, launching Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami for straight sixes before he had faced a dozen balls.
