The stage is set for a thrilling encounter at Providence Stadium in Guyana as India takes on England in the second semi-final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. Both teams boast T20 World Cup titles, with India claiming the inaugural crown in 2007 under MS Dhoni’s leadership. England, the current champions, have lifted the trophy twice (2010 and 2022).
This match holds particular significance for India, who are seeking revenge after their crushing defeat to England in the 2022 semi-final. Back then, a dominant opening partnership between Jos Buttler and Alex Hales secured a comfortable 10-wicket victory for England. They went on to win the final against Pakistan, claiming their second T20 World Cup title. India, meanwhile, haven’t reached the finals since their 2014 loss to Sri Lanka.
