  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: Another shower at Providence

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: It is pouring again at Providence Stadium. Seems to be only passing showers again but it is coming down pretty hard. We are just about half an hour away from the toss. The covers are back. A real test of the drainage system here today.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: Is this a swansong for Rohit and Kohli?

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: Rohit is 37 now, he will be 39 by the time the next T20 World Cup comes in India and Sri Lanka. Kohli is 35 and he will be 37. By no means are both players too old or past their prime but the fact remains that they came back into the T20 fold in international cricket only in January this year, sitting out the format throughout last year. There are also a number of youngsters waiting in the wings, with the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill not finding a place in this squad. Does all this point out to an end of two of the greatest careers of all time in T20 cricket?

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: Jasprit Bumrah’s astonishing numbers in this T20 World Cup

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: Bumrah has taken 11 wickets in this tournament but that is not the impressive bit. Not even close. He has gone at an economy of 4.08 in the six matches he has played thus far, easily the lowest among bowlers in the top 10 wicket-takers of this tournament. Bumrah has given less than 10 runs in a four-over spell twice in this tournament.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: The majesty of Jasprit Bumrah

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: Superlatives are not enough when it comes to describing just how good India’s pace spearhead has been ever since he made his comeback from a long term injury in August last year. He dominated the 2023 World Cup, then was arguably the best bowler in India’s five-match Test series against England earlier this year despite the conditions being favourable for spinners, and was arguably the best bowler in the 2024 IPL despite his side Mumbai Indians finishing bottom of the table.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: We just got to see the magic of the drainage system at Providence and the eficiency of the ground staff. The covers are already off, with all the puddles on them cleared off. There were puddles in the outfield as well and they have all but disappeared into the underground drains.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: No reserve day but…

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: There may be no reserve day but extra time has been provided for this match to take place in case rain plays too much of a spoilsport. We will start losing overs only around 2.40pm local time (12.10am IST). These knockout games need a minimum of 10 overs to be considered a match, as opposed to the five overs that can be used as a limited in normal situations in T20 games. That can start as late as 4.15pm local time (1.45am IST). It means that there is a good chance of fans here in India having to burn the midnight oil today and fill themselves with a lot of coff

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: The rain has passed through but there is a lot of ominous darkness in the horizon. For now, it was a brief but heavy shower at the stadium. There are a few puddles on the covers, which are very much still on the square. The ground staff are bustling about doing cleanup work. Busy bees, busy bees.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: How the Providence behaves

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: If rains do clear off for a game to take place today, we might just get a match where the batters have to be watchful. The run rate here in this year’s T20 World Cup has been 6.20 and an average of 14.67 But one has to also remember that these stats are largely due to the fact that Uganda suffered two heavy defeats here. New Zealand were bowled out for 75 by Afghanistan here as well.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: Cometh the hour, cometh the captains

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: Both Rohit Sharma and Jos Buttler had rather lean tournaments by their lofty standards. However, in the final Super Eight games for their sides, the two captains stepped up. Buttler smashed a whirlwind 83 in 38 balls to help England chase down a target of 116 in 9.4 overs and beat the USA by 10 wickets. Rohit smoked 92 in 41 balls to help India get to a score of 205/5 batting first against Australia. They went on to win the match by 24 runs, a result that ultimately led to Australia, the reigning World Cup and WTC champions, to be knocked out.

However, it does look like passing showers and we still have two hours to go before the toss. Moreover, Providence Stadium has a state of the art drainage systemIf you know any good rain dances, the kind that will keep the clouds away, now is a good time to bring them moves out.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: Virat Kohli’s tournament thus far

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: When it comes to Virat Kohli, anything below extraordinary is seen as failure. India have gone with an unrelenting attacking batting template, if the conditions are favourable, in this T20 World Cup and Kohli has tried to abide by that. It hasn’t gone well for him. In the group stage on those treacherous pitches at the Nassau County Stadium, Kohli scored a total of five runs across three matches. He then scored a run-a-ball 24 against Afghanistan and then made 37 off 28 against Bangladesh before falling for another duck against Australia. Can he turn it around today?

The dark, ominous rainy ones are yet to appear. Toss is scheduled to take place at 7.30pm IST and, for now, it looks like there won’t be any delays. Keep those fingers and toes crossed.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: India and England have faced each other four times in T20 World Cups. Both sides have won two games each. India hold a slight 12-11 edge in all T20Is between these sides. Interestingly, both these sides haven’t faced each other in this format since the 2022 T20 World Cup semi final.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi final, IND vs ENG: India are one of just two teams to have reached the semis without losing a single match, the other being South Africa. The Proteas have gone through to the final and if India go through as well, we might have the first instance of a team winning a men’s ICC tournament without losing a single match.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Semi Final, IND vs ENG: Afghanistan’s extraordinary T20 World Cup campaign ended in a whimper with South Africa pulverising them and reaching the final of a World Cup for the first time ever, T20 or ODI. Marco Jansen. Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje and Tabrais Shamsi were all among the wickets as Afghanistan were bowled out for 56 runs, their lowest-ever total in T20Is. South Africa chased it down in 8.5 overs and won the match by nine wickets. If they win the final, they will become the first team to go through an entire T20 World Cup unbeaten. They will also end what has to be one of the most extraordinary and rather dumbfounding trophy droughts in any sport.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, Semi Final, IND vs ENG: But India have a wristy of their own

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, Semi Final, IND vs ENG: Australia’s Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head were going great guns in chase of 206 the other day. Who came to India’s rescue? None other than Kuldeep Yadav. He has emerged as Rohit Sharma’s go-to bowler after Jasprit Bumrah. He immediately tightened things up, and the pressure created resulted in Marsh’s wicket. It was equally Axar Patel’s wicket, who plucked an absolute screamer out of thin air. But that wicket opened the floodgates. He then also got rid of the dangerous Glenn Maxwell to further tighten the screws on Australia.

  With 7 wickets in this World Cup, Kuldeep is the joint third-highest wicket-taker for India and expect him to unleash some of his tricks to contain the explosive England batting line-up.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, Semi Final, IND vs ENG: India’s biggest threat loading

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, Semi Final, IND vs ENG: India’s batting in the T20 World Cup has paid off in more ways than one, but if there is someone in the England dressing room who can restrict the free-flowing strokeplay of the Men in Blue, it’s Adil Rashid. The leg-spinner has been a thorn in India’s flesh for a while now, and with 9 wickets from 7 matches in the World Cup, promises to derail their progress again. The last five matches at this venue has assisted spinners, and the spin trio of Rashid, Liam Livingstone and Moeen Ali will not be easy to deal with.

  To counter the threat, Indian batters faced a lot of spin in the nets, getting Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal and even Yashasvi Jaiswal to bowl to them. A couple of net bowlers were also called in. Virat Kohli batted for about 45 minutes against them and even brought out some long lusty hits.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, Semi Final, IND vs ENG: What India should avoid from Adelaide 2022

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, Semi Final, IND vs ENG: Come to think of it… what went wrong for India in Adelaide? The answer is EVERYTHING. From getting off to a slow start to bowlers lacking rhythm, everything went downhill for India two years ago at the T20WC semis. Hardik Pandya’s quickfire 63 off 33 balls gave India something to defend, otherwise the game would have ended sooner. First, it was Dubai 2021, and then Adelaide the following year. Two results defined by 10-wicket defeats. No one expected such a one-sided contest.

  But things have changed. Indian top order is going hammer and tongs at the top, setting the platform for the big-hitters to follow. The modern approach of T20 cricket has been embraced and tonight promises to be another example of it. Then again, India would be mindful of not repeating the mistakes they made two year ago. What are they? Read on.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, Semi Final, IND vs ENG: India’s road to the semis

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, Semi Final, IND vs ENG: Team India was always favourites to reach the semifinals of the T20 World Cup and they lived up to the hype. After a one-sided group stage, they ensured the momentum wasn’t lost and dished out one dominating performance after the other in the Super Eights as well. Ireland didn’t trouble them much, and although they did get a bit of a scare against Pakistan, the genius of Jasprit Bumrah saw them through. Speaking of scares, USA did surprise India but Rohit’s bowlers were too strong for the debutants to tackle. The Canada game was washed out, ensuring India’s smooth pass into the Super Eights where Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Australia lay waiting, only to go down to the world’s No. 1 ranked T20I team.

  Here’s how India made it to the semis:

  – Beat Ireland by 8 wickets (Group Stage)

  – Beat Pakistan by 6 runs (Group Stage)

  – Beat USA by 7 wickets (Group Stage)

  – Match abandoned against Canada due to rain (Group Stage)

  – Beat Afghanistan by 47 runs (Super Eights)

  – Beat Bangladesh by 50 runs (Super Eights)

  – Beat Australia by 24 runs (Super Eights)

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, Semi Final, IND vs ENG: Adelaide 2022 on the mind, anyone?

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, Semi Final, IND vs ENG: For Indian cricket fans, the last seven months have been about just one date: November 19, the day a billion hearts broke when India lost the World Cup final to Australia. But while the pain of that evening has somewhat eased with India’s 24-run win over Australia on Monday, let’s not forget what happened on November 10, 2022. At Adelaide, India were crushed by England by 10 wickets… and coincidentally, it was the semifinal of a T20 World Cup as well. We bet you all remember that heartbreak too. Tonight, Rohit Sharma and his ruthless Team India have the opportunity to serve yet another dish of revenge. Only this one a lot more fitting.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, Semi Final, IND vs ENG: Surprise, Surprise! Virat Kohli has gone MIA. He landed in the USA and then in the West Indies, and even played all of India’s matches, but that’s an imposter out there. The Virat Kohli the world knows cannot have figures of 66 runs from 6 innings. We refuse to believe it. This guy has been made to open the innings with captain Rohit Sharma for India, and while he has shown shades of the KING against Bangladesh, the real Virat Kohli is yet to turn up. Then again! Here’s the good news. A man who has carried Indian cricket on his shoulders and led the pack in the previous four World Cups cannot remain absent for too long. Sooner or later, he will come back. Let’s hope tonight is the night. Come back Virat Kohli, your fans are getting restless. We are getting restless.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, Semi Final, IND vs ENG: Well, simply put. None! They are riding high on the current team combination as it has delivered them results one after the other. Yes, there are a couple of concerns – such as Virat Kohli and Shivam Dube’s form – but as the old saying goes, ‘Why tamper with something that’s working?’ India are set to head into the game with an unchanged Playing XI. And honestly, after their game against Australia, why would they change anything? To send the current Test and ODI World Champions packing is no mere feat. The 2021 T20 champs conquered, now on to the defending champions.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, Semi Final, IND vs ENG: We all want a full 40 overs of a contest. But in the worst-case scenario, if rain ends up being the eventual winner in tonight’s semi-final, INDIAN FANS… REJOICE! The Men in Blue will be through to the semifinals. Why? Because they finished on top of their Super Eight stage, and also because there is no reserve day in place, which is another topic in itself. The group in which England played was topped by South Africa, who already are into the final – the first time in their 32-year-long World Cup history. Nonetheless, long story short, if it’s a washout tonight, India and South Africa will headline Saturday’s final.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, Semi Final , IND vs ENG: India and England aren’t the only two teams starring in tonight’s clash. Unfortunately, rain will be sneaking around the skies of Guyana and could make its presence felt. Until yesterday, the city was lashed with heavy rain for 12 hours straight, seriously threatening the semifinal. And although it hasn’t rained in the last few hours, there is a forecast of showers – not drizzle – during match hours. What an anti-climax of sorts it will be if the game is abandoned.

  But hey, let’s not prepare ourselves for the worst. Throughout the tournament, India’s games have rain threat hovering over them. Be it against Pakistan or Australia. Only one was washed out – against Canada in the USA. But this is the Caribbean, and the Providence stadium has some terrific drainage facilities. So yeah, fingers crossed, and let’s hope for the best.

  India vs England Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024, Semi Final 2, IND vs ENG: Two matches remain, three teams left. Hours after South Africa absolutely ransacked Afghanistan to secure a place in the final of the T20 World Cup, it’s time to find out who joins them when powerhouses India and England lock horns in a repeat from two years ago. England have had a topsy-turvy ride this tournament, while India have continued from where they’d left off in the 2023 ODI World Cup and are yet to lose a match. We’ve seen this before somewhere, haven’t we? But from Ahmedabad to Guyana, the spirit levels are high, including all the enthu-cutlets out there. Let’s GO!
