IND vs ENG T20 World Cup 2024 pitch report: India and England meet again in another semifinal of the T20 World Cup.

The Men in Blue are coming into this game unbeaten, having won all six of their completed games in the tournament. England have tasted defeat twice, once to Australia and the other time to South Africa but have done well to reach this far in their title defence.
The two teams will play in semifinal two at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. Ahead of the clash, here is all you need to know about the venue.
Providence Stadium, Guyana pitch report
There have been five matches played at the Providence Stadium in the T20 World Cup 2024 but some of the contests have been lopsided in terms of teams strengths. The venue is likely to assist spinners and it was on display in the Afghanistan vs New Zealand Group stage game.
The top five wicket-takers at this venue are spinners. Akeal Hosein and Rashid Khan have picked six wickets here. This suggests the venue will help the spinners. But if rain comes, which is likely to, as per the forecasts, then the ball will skid onto the bat nicely. Pacers can also get purchase due to the moisture present in that case.
