T20 World Cup 2024: The semi-final match of T20 World Cup 2024 between India and England can be played in Guyana on 27 June. After two years, once again India is likely to face defending champion England in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. Let us tell you that in the T20 World Cup 2022, the England team defeated India by 10 wickets in the semi-finals and broke its dream of winning the title. Batting first in that semi-final match, India scored 168 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs and set a target of 169 runs for England to win. In response, the England team scored 170 runs in 16 overs without losing any wickets and won the match by 10 wickets. In that match for England, opener Alex Hales played an unbeaten innings of 86 runs in 47 balls, while captain Jos Buttler scored an unbeaten 80 runs in 49 balls.   

The semi-final clash between India and England is confirmed!

In the T20 World Cup 2024, South Africa and England have entered the semi-finals from Group 2. South Africa has made it to the semi-finals by becoming the table topper with 6 points by winning all its three matches in the Super-8 stage. At the same time, England entered the semi-finals with 4 points by becoming the second-ranked team in the table. An important Super-8 match is going to be played between India and Australia in Group 1 today. As soon as India wins the Super-8 match against Australia, it will become the table topper with 6 points and get a ticket to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2024. In such a situation, India will face defending champion England in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup.

Know the complete equation 

According to the rules of the T20 World Cup, the first semi-final will be between the top team of Group-2 and the second-ranked team of Group-1. The second semi-final will be between the top team of Group-1 and the second-ranked team of Group-2. England is already the second-ranked team of Group-2. On the other hand, if India defeats Australia in today’s match and tops the Group-1 table with 6 points, then it will face England in the semi-final. Even if this match gets washed out due to rain, Team India will remain the table topper with 5 points. In this situation, India will face England, the second-ranked team in Group-2. This match will be held in Guyana.

What will happen if India loses the match?  

If India loses the match against Australia, both teams will have 4 points each. Then we will have to wait till the result of the match between Afghanistan and Bangladesh to know which team will go to the semi-finals from Group-2. If Afghanistan wins that match, it will also have four points. In this situation, the top-2 teams with better net run rate among India, Australia and Afghanistan will go to the semi-finals. If Afghanistan loses the match, then India and Australia will go to the semi-finals. On the other hand, if the Australian team loses the Super-8 match against India and the Afghanistan team defeats Bangladesh in the Super-8 match on Tuesday 25 June, then the Kangaroo team will be out of the T20 World Cup 2024.
