Every India-England semi-final winner has won the T20 World Cup — trend to continue?

Story byTOI Sports DeskTue, March 3, 2026 at 6:01 AM UTC·2 min readNEW DELHI: A familiar rivalry is set to headline the grand stage once again as India national cricket team and England cricket team clash in the second semi-final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup at the iconic Wankhede Stadium. This marks the third straight edition in which the two powerhouses meet in the last four, having also squared off in the semi-finals in 2022 and 2024. The Mumbai showdown extends what has become a gripping semi-final sequence. In 2022, England ended India’s campaign at the penultimate stage and went on to defeat Pakistan in the final to lift the trophy.

Key Highlights

  • Two years later, the roles reversed.
  • Under Rohit Sharma’s leadership, India beat England in the 2024 semi-final and carried that momentum into the title clash, where they overcame South Africa in Barbados to be crowned world champions.
  • Interestingly, in both those editions, the winner of the India-England semi-final eventually lifted the trophy — a trend that adds extra intrigue to Thursday’s high-stakes encounter. At the Wankhede, England have featured in six T20Is, winning three and losing three.
  • India, meanwhile, have played seven matches in the shortest format at the venue, emerging victorious in five.
  • The Men in Blue have not lost a T20I at the ground since December 2017.
