In the highly anticipated 2022 T20 World Cup second semifinal, India will take on England. In the Super 12 round of the tournament, neither team dropped more than one game. In contrast to India, whose matches were mainly unaffected by the rain, England’s highly awaited match against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was one of many that were postponed there.
India had finished top of Group 2, having taken eight points in five matches and a net run rate of 1.319. England, on the other hand, were second behind New Zealand in Group 1 with seven points in five matches and a net run rate of 0.473. The winner of Thursday’s match will face Pakistan in the final, with Babar Azam’s men having beaten New Zealand by seven wickets at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Wednesday.
The semi-final will be held at the Adelaide Oval and even if it does rain, chances of a wash out are miniscule as this time, there is a reserve day for the match. The reserve day will be triggered if it is deemed that a five-overs-a-side game is not possible. If the reserve day also gets washed out, then the team placed higher in the standings will go through to the final. In this case, that would be India, who had finished first in Group 2 while England were second in Group 1.
