After almost two years, once again India and England are face to face in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. Both the teams clashed in the T20 World Cup 2022 in Adelaide, in which England won. Everyone's eyes are on who will make it to the final this time. While Indian fans are talking about this, there is resentment among the fans and former cricketers of other teams including England regarding the venue of this match.

Now England coach Matthew Mott has given his reaction to this and said that Team India will benefit from this decision of the ICC.

There has been constant discussion about the schedule throughout the T20 World Cup 2024. Fans and experts of many teams have been objecting to the fixed time of Team India's matches. Most of the questions have been raised about the venue of the semi-final match, in which it was already decided that Team India will play the second semi-final upon reaching there, whether it finishes first or second in the Super-8 round.

What did the England coach say?

That is, Team India knew the venue of the semi-finals before the World Cup started, while the other teams came to know at the end where they would play the semi-finals. There are continuous statements about this and questions are being raised on the ICC. Now before the semi-finals, England coach Matthew Mott has also given his reaction for the first time and expressed his disappointment. Mott admitted in the press conference before the match that he knew about it from the beginning but this decision is beyond his capacity.

But Mott clearly said that Team India can benefit from this.

Rain threat on the match

Now the question is whether Team India will really be able to benefit from this? However, for this, it is most important that the match is completed because it has been raining every day in Guyana for the last few days and continuous rain is expected on the day of the match as well. Not only this, there is no reserve day for this semi-final. In such a situation, if the match is completely washed out due to rain, then the team that is at the top of its group in the Super-8 round will go to the final.

Here Team India can get an advantage because it was number 1 in its group, while England was at number 2.
