The stage is set at Mumbai’s iconic Wankhede Stadium for the second semi-final of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on Thursday, March 5. Defending champions India face off against a resurgent England in what has become a defining rivalry of the tournament's knockout stages.

This marks the third consecutive T20 World Cup where these two giants meet in the final four:

Wankhede is a high-scoring paradise, but it has been a mixed bag for both teams:

Unlike previous editions, ICC has allocated a Reserve Day (March 6) for the semi-finals.

Minimum Overs: 10 overs per side are required for a result.

The Twist: If the match is a total washout even on the reserve day, England will qualify for the final as they topped their Super 8 group, while India finished second in theirs.
