IND vs ENG: When and where to watch India vs England T20 World Cup semifinal

Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium will stage the high-stakes second semi-final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on Thursday, pitting defending champions India against England in a fixture that has become something of a tradition. This will be the third consecutive edition in which the two sides meet at the semi-final stage, each previous encounter casting a long shadow over the tournament’s narrative.

In 2022 England toppled India at the same juncture in Adelaide and went on to beat Pakistan in the final to seize the trophy. Twelve months later India flipped the script, overcoming England in the last-four clash before edging South Africa in the Barbados final to reclaim the title. The pattern is impossible to ignore: whoever wins Thursday’s match has gone on to become world champion in each of the last two tournaments, adding an extra layer of tension to an already electric occasion.

Recent history at the Wankhede offers mixed omens. England have contested six T20 internationals at the venue, winning three and losing three, while India have won five of their seven fixtures in Mumbai and have not tasted defeat there in the format since December 2017. The teams have met twice before at the ground, sharing one victory apiece.

Across five T20 World Cup meetings India hold a slender 3-2 edge, and the ledger is perfectly balanced in semi-finals, with one win apiece. One of the most enduring memories between the sides remains the 2007 group-stage classic when Yuvraj Singh smashed Stuart Broad for six sixes in a single over, a moment that still resonates as one of the competition’s defining highlights.
