Unbeaten India (IND) take on the defending champions England (ENG) in the semi-final 2 of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. The two pre-tournament favourites will face each other at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, on Thursday, June 27.
India have won six games so far in the marquee event. Their match against Canada in the first round was abandoned due to a wet outfield. In the Super Eight stage, they notched up comprehensive wins against Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Australia.
Meanwhile, England’s opening fixture ended without a result against Scotland before they suffered a defeat to Australia. Their hopes of progressing beyond the first round were dwindling at one point but they managed to bounce back strongly and make the cut for the Super Eights. Jos Buttler’s men suffered a defeat versus South Africa but wins against West Indies and the USA helped them seal a spot in the semis.
India and England faced each other in the semifinals of the 2022 T20 World Cup. The Three Lions emerged victorious by 10 wickets. However, fans can expect a much closer affair this time, with India being slight favourites considering their recent form.

Probable Best Performers of the match
Probable Best Batter: Rohit Sharma
The Indian skipper played a scintillating knock against Australia in the last game. In just 41 balls, he amassed 92 runs, hitting seven fours and eight sixes. Rohit Sharma smashed four sixes off a Mitchell Starc over to mesmerise the cricket fraternity. Indian fans will hope for another blistering start from the right-handed batter against England.
Probable Best Bowler: Jasprit Bumrah
The right-arm pacer has been in splendid form so far in the T20 World Cup 2024. He has taken 11 wickets from six matches at an average of 8.55. His economy rate is a miserly 4.09. Jasprit Bumrah is expected to get a good amount of help from the surface in Guyana and England batters will have to bring their A-game to the fore to counter him.
