ALEX HALES and Jos Buttler embarked on an incredible six-hitting spree as England rampaged into the World Cup final with ludicrous ease.<br /><br />#Cricket #T20WorldCup <br /><br />For Hales, it was the ultimate personal vindication of his return to international cricket after more than three years in the cold.<br /><br />And, for Buttler, it was confirmation of his talent and leadership after taking over as captain from Eoin Morgan last summer.<br /><br />Hales cleared the boundary seven times and Buttler hit three sixes.<br /><br />They rushed to their target without being parted as England crushed India by ten wickets in the semi-final with four overs to spare.<br /><br />Buttler finished the job with the tenth six of the innings and England will play Pakistan in the final in Melbourne on Sunday.<br /><br />Player of the Match Hales said: “This is right up there. This is a huge occasion and I’m really happy with the way I played. Really special.<br /><br />“This is one of the best grounds for batting in the world, giving good value for your shots with the short square boundaries.<br /><br />“I never thought I’d play in a World Cup so to get a chance is very special. It’s one of the best nights of my career.”<br /><br />This wasn’t just a victory – it was a total demolition job against the pre-match favorites and one of the most talented and dangerous Twenty20 teams in the world.
