India will lock horns with England in the 2nd semi-final of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 on Thursday evening. The match will be at the Providence Stadium in Guyana at 8:00 PM IST.
The last time these two nations faced off in a Men’s T20 World Cup semi-final was just 19 months ago in Adelaide when a remarkable opening partnership between Jos Buttler and Alex Hales saw England cruise to victory in the sort of manner that forced a complete rethink in India’s T20 strategy.
This time around, though, India have more batting firepower, more options through the middle overs, and more variation in their attack. Still, the defending champions will take some beating, especially with Buttler and his new opening partner Phil Salt both in blistering form.
However, as excitement builds for this highly anticipated showdown, weather forecasts suggest that rain could play a major role, potentially disrupting the match and affecting the tournament’s outcome. According to AccuWeather, Guyana faces an 88% chance of rain and an 18% chance of thunderstorms on the match day.
This is the sixth and final game to be held at the venue during the tournament, with the previous five all coming in Group C during the first-round stage. Spinners have been quite effective on the ground, but there’s also been a bit on the surface for the quicks, with the highest score across the five games being Afghanistan’s 183/5 against Uganda.
