MUMBAI: After navigating varied conditions across Sri Lanka, all-rounder Sam Curran believes England are peaking at the right time as they gear up for a T20 World Cup 2026 semifinal against India on Thursday at the iconic Wankhede Stadium.
Curran insisted that the focus is on delivering a “perfect game” when it matters most. “Yeah, I guess it doesn’t really matter now. It comes down to the World Cup semifinal. If there’s ever a time we want to play our perfect game, it’s probably Thursday night, ” Curran said in a press interaction at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday.
“We’ve all been chipping in at different times, but we know in T20 cricket it probably just takes a couple of our guys to come good with the bat and good with the ball. We’re a quality fielding side as well, so we know we’ll kind of come good on that aspect, but yeah, it’s exciting… hopefully the perfect game comes Thursday.”
Sanju Samson struck an unbeaten 97 to guide India to the semis with a five-wicket victory over the West Indies at Eden Gardens. England finished first in Group 2 of the Super 8 standings after winning all three of their matches. This confirmed their semifinal match against defending champions and co-hosts India, who are placed second in Super 8s Group 1.
