How India Have Fared In The Semifinals In T20 World Cups
Shere Bangla National Stadium: Team India are set for their sixth semi-final appearance in 10 editions of the ICC Mens T20 World Cup and will face England in the knockout game here at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday with an aim to defend their World Cup crown. The Men in Blue first made it to the top four in the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2007, where they beat Australia by 15 runs in Durban to confirm the final against arch-rivals Pakistan. India posted 157/5 in 20 overs riding on the current head coach Gautam Gambhirs 75-run knock. Later, top bowling performances by RP Singh and Irfan Pathan helped the then MS Dhoni-led side beat their neighbours in Johannesburg to lift their maiden T20 World Cup title. The 2007 champions then failed to reach the top four in the next three editions in 2009, 2010, and 2012. They played their second T20 World Cup semi-final in 2014, where Virat Kohlis 72 not out helped India overcome the challenge against South Africa in Mirpur. India played their second final of the tournament against Sri Lanka at Dhakas Shere Bangla National Stadium, with Kohli bringing up yet another memorable knock of 77 off 58 balls. However, efforts went in vain as the islanders chased down the 131-run target in 17.5 overs to hand Dhoni and Co. a defeat. Team India reached the semi-final for a second time in a row in the 2016 edition of the tournament, in what was their home World Cup, only to lose to the eventual champions West Indies by seven wickets in Mumbai. Their fourth semi-final appearance came in 2022, when the tournament was hosted by the then-defending champions Australia. It was the first time that India faced England in a T20 World Cup knockout game. England restricted India to 168/6 after choosing to bowl first, with Virat Kohli scoring a half-century and Hardik Pandya smashing 63 off 33 balls, while Chris Jordan took three wickets. In reply, Englands openers Alex Hales and Jos Buttler dominated, chasing the target without losing a wicket and sealing a comprehensive 10-wicket win with four overs to spare, handing India a crushing defeat before going on to lift the title by beating Pakistan in the final. The two sides faced off again for a second consecutive semi-final date in the 2024 edition of the tournament, co-hosted by the USA and the West Indies. This time, India got the chance to settle the score and avenge their 2022 loss. Batting first, India scored 171/20 overs, led by Rohit Sharmas 57, with key contributions from Suryakumar Yadav (47) and Hardik Pandya (23 off 13). England restricted India to 168/6 after choosing to bowl first, with Virat Kohli scoring a half-century and Hardik Pandya smashing 63 off 33 balls, while Chris Jordan took three wickets. In reply, Englands openers Alex Hales and Jos Buttler dominated, chasing the target without losing a wicket and sealing a comprehensive 10-wicket win with four overs to spare, handing India a crushing defeat before going on to lift the title by beating Pakistan in the final.

T20 WC: What Will Happen If ENG Vs IND Semi-final Is Washed Out?
T20 World Cup: India will face England in the T20 World Cup 2026 semifinals at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. Led by Suryakumar Yadav, India secured a commanding victory over the West Indies to advance, despite starting their Super 8 campaign with a loss to South Africa. In the other semifinal, South Africa will compete against New Zealand at Kolkata's Eden Gardens. As fans eagerly anticipate the matches, concerns about the weather persist, leaving many wondering what will occur if the games are cancelled due to rain. If the India vs England match is washed out, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has scheduled a reserve day. If there is a delay, officials have an additional 90 minutes on Thursday and 120 minutes on Friday to ensure at least a five-over match is played. If the match is abandoned, the outcome will be determined depending on the teams position in their respective groups Super 8 points table. In that scenario, England will advance to the final since they finished higher than India in their Super 8 group. England topped their group with 3 wins, remaining unbeaten with six points to their name, while India finished second with 2 wins and four points. If both semifinals are cancelled, South Africa and England will advance to the T20 World Cup final, having topped their respective Super Eights table.

How The T20 World Cup Semi-Finalists Shape Up
Just four of the 20 teams are now left standing as the T20 World Cup semi-finals take place this week. South Africa will face New Zealand in Kolkata on Wednesday, while defending champions India take on England in Mumbai the next day. AFP Sport assesses the four contenders for the trophy: SOUTH AFRICA Aiden Markram's South Africa are the only unbeaten team in the tournament and full of confidence as they hunt for a first World Cup after years of being dubbed chokers at the sharp end of tournaments. Runners-up two years ago, South Africa have won seven out of seven including statement Super Eights wins over India and the West Indies. - Strengths - Led by Markram, who has amassed 268 runs in seven matches, they have a power-packed batting line-up with Quinton de Kock, Ryan Rickleton, Dewald Brevis, David Miller and Tristan Stubbs all able to clear the boundary. Quick bowler Lungi Ngidi has taken 12 wickets and has bamboozled some of the best with his deceptively slow off-cutter, while Keshav Maharaj has the ability to tie batsmen down with his left-arm spin. - Weaknesses If any, they appear to be psychological, the mental scars from decades of failing to fire at the sharp end of World Cups. Five times a 50-over World Cup semi-finalist and twice in the T20 version, they made it to a final for the first time in the T20 World Cup in 2024, only to fail again. Needing 26 off fours overs with six wickets in hand they collapsed to lose by seven runs to India. The World Test Championship final win last year may have gone a long way to erasing those demons -- eight of the T20 squad were in that side. T20 World Cup best: Runners-up (2024) NEW ZEALAND Squeaked into the semi-finals with a better net run-rate than Pakistan, having lost to England in the Super Eights. Beaten by South Africa in the group phase in Ahmedabad but will look to turn the tables in Kolkata. - Strengths - All-round talent in depth, including skipper and leading spinner Mitchell Santner, Glenn Phillips and Rachin Ravindra. From Lockie Ferguson's pace to Ish Sodhi's leg spin, Santner has plenty of bowling variation at his disposal. Opener Tim Seifert often provides an explosive start in the power play and they are razor-sharp in the field. - Weaknesses - Lack the game-busting, match-winning individuals of the other three semi-finalists. They are the only team in the final four to have lost two matches -- to South Africa and England. The only Test playing nations they have beaten in seven matches were Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. T20 World Cup best: Runners-up (2021) ENGLAND Harry Brook's England had some scratchy group stage wins, including edging a last-ball thriller against Nepal, but found form to power through the Super Eights with wins over co-hosts Sri Lanka, Pakistan and New Zealand. - Strengths - Brook showed his leadership by moving up to number three against Pakistan and scoring a match-winning century. He is becoming an astute tactician in his first World Cup as captain. All-rounder Will Jacks has already won four player of the match awards in seven outings and can be destructive with the bat. Jofra Archer, expensive in the first two games, is back to his searing best. - Weaknesses - Opener Jos Buttler is in a form slump with 62 runs in seven matches. He has not made a T20 fifty since September last year and looks devoid of confidence but England are unlikely to ditch their former captain. T20 World Cup best: Champions: 2010, 2022 INDIA The defending champions finally produced their best performances when they needed them in the Super Eights with victories over Zimbabwe and the West Indies. Suryakumar Yadav's side were less convincing in the group stage, despite starting the tournament as hot favourites. They were 77-6 in their opening match against the United States before Suryakumar's 84 rescued them and lacked consistency. - Strengths - Sanju Samson has added muscle and balance to the top of the order, upsetting the opposition's bowling rhythm by breaking up the all-left hand combination of Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan. Jasprit Bumrah has proved himself again to be one of the best pacemen in the business and top-ranked T20 bowler Varun Chakravarthy, who has claimed 12 victims, leads the spin attack. Home support in a 35,000-strong Wankhede stadium could be like having a 12th man on the field. - Weaknesses - Abhishek came into the tournament as the world's number one T20 batsman then had three consecutive ducks. A fifty against Zimbabwe showed glimpses of his talent but he fell for 10 against the West Indies and England will be targeting him for an early wicket.

Arya was in splendid touch as he slammed eight boundaries and nine sixes as he reached his hundred off just 40 balls. Aryas supreme form helped DY Patil Red romp home in just 12.1 overs as they chased down CGSTs 149 for five to finish on 150 for two. Aryas effort helped DY Patil Red set up a quarterfinal clash against DTDC on Wednesday afternoon. DY Patil Red skipper Krunal Pandya was the other star with the ball, picking up two for 22, while left-arm seamer Naman Tiwari (2-27) and Prince Badiani (0-19) also bowled tight spells on Monday night.

Earlier, Vidarbha batter Danish Malewar's fluent 64 off 42 balls led Reliance to a nail-biting one-run victory over Bank of Baroda. Malewar, who will turn out for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026, struck nine fours in his brisk half-century as Reliance posted a competitive 197/6 in their 20 overs. Ajay Ahlawat was the pick of the Bank of Baroda bowlers, returning figures of 2-31 to keep Reliance in check during the middle overs, though it proved insufficient to prevent the eventual defeat.
