Preview
India will take on England in the second semifinal of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Providence Stadium in Georgetown, Guyana. This will be their second straight semifinal match in the tournament, with the last one going the way of England in a one-sided contest. With that, India will be keen to put up a better performance against them in the all-important match in the T20 World Cup 2024, securing their passage through to the final of the tournament for the third time.
Pitch Report
The pitches at the Providence Stadium in Georgetown, Guyana, were quite helpful for the bowlers, especially the spinners in the T20 World Cup 2024, which made it difficult for the batters to score big runs at a high tempo. With that, the average first innings score of 138 runs at this venue, might not be an easy total to chase for either India or England in their T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal clash.
Team Analysis
India
India will be buoyed by the captain Rohit Sharma’s match-winning 92 odd against Australia, ensuring that the early dismissal of Virat Kohli didn’t hamper the team’s batting progression. The rest of the batters in the lineup made decent contributions in the previous match in the T20 World Cup 2024, while the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav were immense in helping India defend the 205-run total after a good start from the opposition top order.

England
The England captain, Jos Buttler, took the USA bowlers to the cleaners in their previous match in the T20 World Cup 2024, helping the team get over the line with ease while chasing a 116-run target. Chris Jordan picked up four wickets in five balls, which included a hat-trick to clean up the opposition’s tail, while getting ample support from the likes of Adil Rashid and Sam Curran in particular.
