Roy rises to the occasion to take England into the WT20 Final

England hammered New Zealand by 7 wickets thanks to a Jason Roy special, scoring 78 from 44 balls. 

The unbeaten Black Caps were set on 89-1 after the first 10 overs, looking at setting a total around the 200 mark with Colin Munro expertly hitting 46. 

Jason  Roy guides the ball past point in his match-winning 78.

But a combination of outstanding death bowling and tight bowling from the spinners restricted the New Zealanders to 153-8. Ben Stokes took 3 wickets and Chris Jordan hit his yorkers in another match to take a combined 5-20 in the last 4 overs. 

But Roy took the game away from the first over, taking 16 from it to start the fireworks and not stopping until he was bowled by Ish Sodhi, but by then it was more than enough as his side came through by 7 wickets. 

Moeen Ali marked an incredible turnaround from the Sri Lanka game, where he went for 32 from 2 overs, to take 1-10 from two today, stemming the flow of runs and picking up the vital wicket of Kane Williamson. 

Despite scoring a below-par 153, New Zealand had defended less in their group games, coming through unbeaten. 

But on a Dehli pitch completely different to the turners they were used to playing on, they seemed unable to adapt and lost with a staggering 17 balls left in England's innings, showing their clear superiority on the day.

Despite this, it is a remarkable turnaround for the England one-day team that crashed out of the 2015 World cup in Australia and New Zealand at the group stages which lead to Peter Moores losing his job as England head coach. 

Choosing one-day players based on one-day form and talent instead of giving test players a one-day and T20 jersey has worked wonders for the reinvented team, their new self-belief is clear in every game that they play, and even more clear in the enjoyment that they are having with every last game that they play in this tournament, with the most important one yet to come. 

England will play either India or West Indies in the final on Sunday in Kolkata for the chance to be World T20 champions for a second time, becoming the first side to do so in the history of the competition.
