India and England will face off in the second semifinal of the ICC Men's 2026 T20 World Cup on Thursday, March 5, at 7pm (13:30 GMT) at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, India. Both teams are aiming for a record-breaking third T20 World Cup title. India, playing at home, will rely on their strong batting lineup led by Sanju Samson and a formidable bowling attack spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakravarthy. England will look to exploit India's shaky batting and capitalize on their own Super Eight form, hoping to silence the home crowd and advance to the final. The winner will have a chance to become the first host nation to retain the title.
