India’s opponent in the semi-final is England. The match will be played on March 5 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. This is the third semi-final encounter between these two teams in the T20 World Cup history. Having faced each other twice before, India won once and England won once, so the stats suggest it will be an even match.
The first semi-final was held in Adelaide in 2022. In that match, India batted first and scored 168 runs, where Virat Kohli scored 50 runs and Hardik Pandya scored 63 runs. However, England’s openers Jos Buttler and Alex Hales won the match without losing a single wicket with excellent batting.

In reply, England were bowled out for just 103 runs and India took revenge by winning by 68 runs. This time, the two teams are going to meet again in the third semi-final, and the tension is high. Who will have the last laugh will be answered at Wankhede on the 5th.
