India is ready to face England in the semi-finals. The two teams will meet once again in the semi-finals. The Indian team has been unbeaten in the T20 World Cup 2024 so far. On the other hand, England has faced one defeat each in the group stage and Super-8. Rohit Sharma's team reached the semi-finals by defeating Australia by 24 runs, while England qualified by beating the USA by 10 wickets.
India's Chance for Revenge
The second semi-final will be played at 8 PM IST at Providence Stadium, Guyana. India will aim to avenge their previous defeat against England. In the T20 World Cup 2022, the English team knocked India out of the final race by defeating them by 10 wickets in the semi-finals. Now, Rohit Sharma and his team will look to learn from their past mistakes and beat England.
Weather Report
Rain is expected to affect the India vs England match. According to the weather report, there is a 70% chance of rain in Guyana in the morning. The temperature is expected to be around 31 degrees Celsius. The winning team of this match will advance to the final. However, there is a possibility of rain and thunderstorms on the match day, which could disrupt the game.
Advantage for India if Rain Washes Out the Match
If the second semi-final between India and England in the T20 World Cup 2024 is washed out due to rain, India will benefit. India has won all their matches in the group stage and Super-8. They have six points in the Super-8, while England has four points. Based on this, India will easily qualify for the final.
Pitch Report
The match will be played at Providence Stadium, Guyana, which is known to be low-scoring and spin-friendly. It favors spinners more than fast bowlers, and batsmen often struggle to score runs.
