T20 World Cup: England Elect To Bowl First Against India In Rain-hit Second Semifinal
T20 World Cup: Defending champions England won the toss and elected to bowl first against India in the second semifinal of the Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 at the Providence Stadium here on Thursday. The coin toss was delayed by an hour and 20 minutes due to rain and wet outfield.
India hold a slight 12-11 edge over England in all T20I meetings between these sides. In terms of T20 World Cup meetings, the record is evenly split at 2-2. The winner of Thursday’s semifinal will face South Africa in the final at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, on Saturday.
Thursday’s clash is a rematch of the 2022 Men’s T20 World Cup semifinal at Adelaide, where England thrashed India by ten wickets. After winning the toss, England skipper Jos Buttler said his playing eleven is unchanged from their ten-wicket win in the Super Eight stage over the USA.
