The Men in Blue have an edge over the Three Lions in head-to-head
Suryakumar Yadav and co have 66% chances of winning this match
India enter the T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final against England on March 5 with a mix of confidence and unfinished business. After a bumpy start that included a loss to South Africa, India bounced back emphatically, sealing their semifinal spot with a thrilling five-wicket win over West Indies, highlighted by a brilliant unbeaten 97 by Sanju Samson, the highest individual score by an Indian in a World Cup chase.
The hosts boast a strong middle order with Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya, backed by a potent bowling attack featuring Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakaravarthy. This blend of experience and firepower makes them favorites on home turf.
England, meanwhile, have clawed their way into the semifinals with a balanced and improving campaign. Led by captain Harry Brook, who already has a T20 World Cup century this tournament, England have been consistent in the Super Eights, defeating crucial opponents like New Zealand to secure their place.
All-round contributions from Will Jacks, Sam Curran and Rehan Ahmed have given England versatility, but they’ll need their top order to fire against India’s varied bowling attack. England’s ability to adapt to subcontinental conditions and handle pressure at Wankhede will be pivotal on the night.

With the loud Mumbai crowd backing India and England’s fearless approach under Brook, the stage is set for a thrilling encounter where execution under pressure could decide who moves on to contest the title
