IND vs ENG Live: Fifty from Jacob Bethel, India searching for the fifth wicket
The teams of India and England are face to face in the second semi-final match of ICC T20 World Cup 2026. England won the toss and decided to bowl first at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Jamie Overton has come into the team in place of Rehan Ahmed. The Indian team has entered without any changes. Captain Suryakumar Yadav did not look that sad after losing the toss. He said that we wanted to bat first.
These two teams have also clashed in the semi-finals of the last two T20 World Cups. If England won in 2022, the Indian team won in 2024 and completed the revenge. Now Team India would like to establish its dominance. However, India will have to be careful, because Wankhede Stadium has not been lucky for Team India in knockout matches. Leaving aside the 2023 ODI World Cup semi-finals, the Indian team has lost the semi-finals of the 2016 T20 World Cup and the 1987 ODI World Cup. In 1987, it was England who defeated the Indian team. It remains to be seen which side the camel sits on this time. Stay with us for moment-to-moment updates from Wankhede.
