India and England face off again in a T20 World Cup semi-final, just 19 months after England’s dominant win in Adelaide. Back then, a destructive opening partnership between Jos Buttler and Alex Hales left India with no answers.
This time, India boasts a more potent batting lineup with firepower at the top and depth in the middle. Their bowling attack also offers more variation. However, England remains a force with Buttler and their new opener Phil Salt both in top form. This rematch promises to be a thrilling encounter.
T20 World Cup 2024: IND vs ENG
- Date and time: June 27; 10:30 am Local/ 2:30 pm GMT/ 08:00 pm IST
- Venue: Providence Stadium, Guyana
Providence Stadium Pitch Report:
Providence Stadium’s reputation precedes it: a graveyard for batters and a haven for bowlers, especially spinners. This Guyanese venue is known for producing low-scoring T20I encounters. The pitch itself starts off challenging for batters, but it truly transforms into a spinner’s paradise as the match progresses. As the game unfolds, the surface slows down considerably, making strokeplay difficult and offering significant grip for spinners to exploit.
