India won the match by 68 runs. The spinners did wonders – Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel took 3 wickets each, while Jasprit Bumrah took 2 wickets. India won the title by winning the final.

Both old matches were one-sided

The last two semi-finals were completely one-sided. In 2022, England defeated India badly, while in 2024, India defeated England. Both the teams won once each. Now there is a third match in 2026.

This time the situation of both the teams

This time India defeated West Indies by 5 wickets in Super-8 and made it to the semi-finals. Sanju Samson’s unbeaten inning of 97 runs was memorable. England topped Group 2 but barely won against Nepal and Italy in the group stage.

His matches remained tough even in Super-8. Many players in both the teams are struggling with form. Wankhede pitch is considered good for batting, but it will be a pressure match.
