Team India is gearing up to face England in a highly anticipated semi-final clash in the T20 World Cup 2026. The "Men In Blue" will be eager to put in an impressive performance in front of a buoyant Mumbai crowd to reach back-to-back T20 World Cup finals.
Historically, India have enjoyed playing at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The defending champions cruised past the USA in the group stage at the iconic venue, in what was their only game at the Wankhede so far. Now, with a place in the final on the line again, the Suryakumar Yadav-led outfit will be eager to win at their 'fortress' again against the two-time champions, England.
