India vs England Semi-final Loading in T20 World Cup 2024? Can India Redeem the 2022 S/F Horror Show

With England finishing 2nd in the T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 Group 2, after South Africa’s nervy win over West Indies today placing them at the top of the table in Group 2, they are likely to run into the unbeaten India side, provided India finish at the top of the table in Group 1 of Super 8.

India will be playing Australia tonight and a win will ensure their top place in the group and most likely end of the road for Australia. If that happens India will take on England in the second semi-final at Providence Stadium, Guyana on June 27 (8:00 PM IST).

And this will make for an interesting contest with the defending champions, England, taking on the overwhelming favourites, India, for a spot in the final – a repeat of the T20 World Cup 2022 semi-final.

When England Demolished India in 2022 T20 World Cup Semi-final

On November 10, 2022, England faced India at the Adelaide Oval in the 2nd semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2022, and England, the eventual winners, led by a demolition act from Jos Buttler and Alex Hales decimated India by 10 wickets, chasing down the target of 169, in just 16 overs and 10 wickets intact. That game forced India to change their T20 batting template and India will have a chance to redeem themselves at Guyana come June 27.

What does the T20 World Cup 2024 Semi-final line-up look like?

South Africa have topped Group 2 and they will play the first semi-final, meaning they will avoid India (if they make it) and play Australia, Afghanistan or Bangladesh, depending on who makes it to the semis. England, on the other hand, may run into India, if they they top their Super 8 group.

The first semifinal in Trinidad on June 26 is a night affair (6:00 AM IST) while the second semi-final in Guyana is a day game (8:30 PM IST), more suited for the Indian TV audience. India, irrespective of where they finish in their Super 8 group, will play the second semi-final.
