The Men in Blue will take on England in the second semi-final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 at the historic Wankhede Stadium.

On the other hand, England delivered an impressive performance in the Super 8 stage, winning all three of their matches to finish at the top of the ICC T20 World Cup Group 2 points table and book their spot in the semi-finals. Notably, India also faced England in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024, where Rohit Sharma and his men emerged victorious with a commanding 68-run win.
India's opening batter, Sanju Samson, played the innings of his lifetime in the last Super 8 match against West Indies, scoring 97 runs off 50 balls. This knock was a proof why he is regarded as one of the most dangerous batsmen in the world.
Meanwhile, England all-rounder Will Jacks impressed with both bat and ball in the last game, scoring 32 quick runs and taking two crucial wickets against New Zealand. Their current form makes them the ideal captaincy choices in the ENG vs IND Dream11 team prediction.
