T20 World Cup 2024: Semi-Final 2, IND vs ENG Match Prediction – Who will win today’s T20 World Cup match between IND vs ENG?
India and England square off in semi-final 2 of the T20 World Cup 2024 on Thursday, June 27.
Unbeaten India (IND) take on the defending champions England (ENG) in the semi-final 2 of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. The two pre-tournament favourites will face each other at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, on Thursday, June 27.
India have won six games so far in the marquee event. Their match against Canada in the first round was abandoned due to a wet outfield. In the Super Eight stage, they notched up comprehensive wins against Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Australia.
Meanwhile, England's opening fixture ended without a result against Scotland before they suffered a defeat to Australia. Their hopes of progressing beyond the first round were dwindling at one point but they managed to bounce back strongly and make the cut for the Super Eights. Jos Buttler's men suffered a defeat versus South Africa but wins against West Indies and the USA helped them seal a spot in the semis.
India and England faced each other in the semifinals of the 2022 T20 World Cup. The Three Lions emerged victorious by 10 wickets. However, fans can expect a much closer affair this time, with India being slight favourites considering their recent form.
