Mumbai, June 27: Unbeaten India are geared up to face the defending champions England in the second semifinal of the T20 World Cup, eyeing to avenge the 10-wicket drubbing against the Jos Buttler-led side in the semifinal of the 2022 edition. India have not won a T20 World Cup since lifting the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2007. They last won the ODI World Cup in 2011 and have not won any World Cup title since then. However, India's last ICC title came in the 2013 Champions Trophy where MS Dhoni-led side outclassed England in the final.

Whereas, the defending champions are clinging to their hopes of going all the way and becoming the first men’s team to win back-to-back T20 World Cup titles. The last time these two nations faced off in a Men’s T20 World Cup semifinal was just 19 months ago in Adelaide when a remarkable opening partnership between Jos Buttler and Alex Hales saw England cruise to victory to clinch their second title.

Interestingly, the two teams will face off in the second semifinal in Guyana on Thursday, just like in 2022. India have won every game they’ve been able to compete in, with the only dropped points coming from the abandoned fixture against Canada at a rain-soaked Lauderhill.

England, on the other hand, has had a hot-and-cold campaign, with impressive wins and unexpected losses, and has fought tooth and nail to qualify for the semifinals. India and England have met four times in the T20 World Cup, winning two each. Overall, India holds a narrow edge in the T20I head-to-head record with 12-11.
