In the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024, it’s a clash of champions as India will look to avenge last edition’s loss against the defending champions England when they meet at the Guyana National Stadium in Providence, Guyana on Thursday (June 27).
Rohit Sharma-led India head into the match on the back of an undefeated run and are fresh from a 24-run win over Australia in their most recent outing, sealing the top spot from Group 1 in the Super 8s. India defended a total of 205 by restricting Australia to 181.

Jos Buttler’s England, on the other end, bounced back from a narrow loss to South Africa with a thumping 10-wicket win over USA to become the first team to qualify for the semifinals. England chased down 116 inside 10 overs.
While they eased past debutants USA, the defending champions will face a real test in their title defence when they face the pre-tournament favourites India in the last four at a venue where they do not possess a great record.
India and England will face off for the first time in T20Is since their semi-final meeting two years ago, but the two former champions are no strangers when it comes to clashes in the shortest format. Here is a look at the head to head numbers of IND vs ENG:
In the 23 previous IND vs ENG head to head meetings in T20Is, India hold an edge with 12 wins, while England has won 11 such encounters. In the most recent 4 meetings, it’s all square between the two teams.
In T20 World Cups also it’s all square at 2-2 between the two sides with England winning the most recent meeting in comprehensive fashion. Buttler’s side registered a 10-wicket win chasing 170 in 2022 semi-final. Here is a look at the ENG vs IND head to head stats:
