After a decade-long wait India is on the cusp of reaching another T20 World Cup final. Rohit Sharma’s men will face defending champions England on June 27 in a high-stakes semifinal clash.
India’s last appearance in a T20 World Cup final was in 2014 when they fell short against Sri Lanka. This time they enter the match with an unbeaten record in the tournament and a more balanced squad than in previous years.
The head-to-head record between these teams in T20 World Cups is evenly split at two wins apiece. However England holds the psychological edge having knocked India out in the 2022 semifinal.
Key players like Virat Kohli Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya will be eager to avenge that loss. The return of Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav has also bolstered India’s bowling attack.
The match will take place at The Providence Stadium in Guyana known for favoring spin. While there’s a slight chance of rain early forecasts suggest it’s unlikely to disrupt play significantly.
Cricket fans can catch the action live on Star Sports channels or stream it on Disney+ Hotstar starting at 8 PM Indian time. With a spot in the final at stake this promises to be a thrilling encounter between two cricket powerhouses.
