Several members of the Ambani family were also present to watch the match live. Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta were seated alongside Ranbir and Alia. Nita Ambani was also spotted at the stadium.

India vs England: A Semi-Final Clash Fans Have Seen Before

India and England first met in a T20 World Cup semi-final in Australia in 2022, where England defeated India and went on to lift the trophy. Two years later in the West Indies, India returned the favour by beating England in the semi-final before eventually winning the tournament themselves.

Now, as the two sides face off once again in the last four, fans have spotted an interesting pattern. The winner of the semi-finals has gone on to lift the trophy in the previous two editions. This time, however, India holds the home advantage.
