Today's second semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Providence Stadium in Guyana at 8 PM IST will feature a re-match of the 2022 T20 World Cup semi-final between India and England.
England, the reigning champions, narrowly secured their spot in the semi-final after teetering on the brink of elimination during the group stages. Their defeat to South Africa in the Super 8s has diminished their status as favourites against India, one of the only two unbeaten teams in the tournament.
India, maintaining an unblemished record in this tournament, stands in a strong position against England. Despite their champion status, England's recent performance has cast doubt on their prospects, making this semi-final a highly anticipated and intense encounter.
