India and England will lock horns in the T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal in what is a repeat clash of the 2022 semifinal. The Men in Blue are hunting for their second T20 World Cup after winning the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2007.
The Three Lions are among the only two teams to have won the title twice as they won the trophy in 2009 and then in 2022 after beating India and Pakistan in the knockout stages. They are dreaming for a title defence, which no team has ever been able to do in T20 World Cups.
Both sides have several match-winners who have taken their teams to big heights in the tournament. If Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah have led the way for India, Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid have been pretty impressive for the defending champions. Here is a fantasy team of the IND vs ENG World Cup semifinal.
