India has had a successful run so far, winning six matches. Their game against Canada in the first round was abandoned due to a wet outfield. In the Super Eight stage, they secured dominant victories over Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Australia.
England’s journey has been more turbulent. Their opening game against Scotland ended without a result, followed by a loss to Australia. Despite a shaky start, they managed to advance to the Super Eights. Jos Buttler’s team lost to South Africa but clinched victories against West Indies and the USA to secure their spot in the semi-finals.
The last time India and England met in a T20 World Cup semi-final was in 2022, where England won by 10 wickets. This time, however, a closer contest is expected, with India being slight favourites due to their recent form.
