Hosts India take on England in the second ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 semifinal at Wankhede Stadium tonight, with a place in the final at stake. India, defending champions, are aiming to reach back‑to‑back finals, while England look to repeat their 2022 victory over India at this stage.
India secured their semi‑final spot with a thrilling win over West Indies, powered by an unbeaten 97 from Sanju Samson. Home conditions and a balanced bowling attack featuring Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakaravarthy give India confidence on a batting‑friendly Wankhede pitch.
England, unbeaten in the Super 8s, bring firepower through players like Harry Brook, Will Jacks and Sam Curran, though their openers have been quiet so far. The match is expected to be a close, high‑intensity contest as both teams chase a spot in the final in Ahmedabad on March 8.
