Rohit Sharma's Indian cricket team is all set to compete against the defending champions Jos Buttler-led England in the second semi-final of the ongoing edition of the T20 World Cup 2024 which will take place at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, on June 27 (Thursday). The winner of this match will be competing against South Africa in the Final of this mega tournament. The Men in Blue have been unbeaten in the tournament so far but the English side has suffered two losses in this marquee event so far.
Head-to-Head
Both teams have faced each other 33 times in T20 Internationals with India winning 12 of them and 11 of them going in England's favour. They have also clashed four times in T20 World Cups with both teams winning two games each.
Pitch Report
The Providence Stadium pitch is most likely to be spin-friendly. However, it won't have much effect but the team winning the toss can most likely elect to bat first.
Weather Report
The weather forecasts predict a lot of rain and thunderstorms and it is likely to play spoilsport during the match. The precipitation chances can go up to 60 per cent.
