India Seek Revenge In Potential Rematch Against 2022 Semi-Final Nemesis In 2024 T20 World Cup Semi-Final
India vs England T20 WC 2024 Semi-Final?: Here's how India are likely to face England in the T20 World Cup 2024 Semi-Final.
India vs England T20 WC 2024 Semi-Final?: England defeated USA by 10 wickets in their last Super 8 match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 on June 23 (Sunday) and became the first team who booked their place in the semi-finals of the marquee tournament. South Africa also joined them from Group 2 as they defeated co-hosts West Indies and finished as the top-ranked team in the Group 2 points table. Now, India– who look poised to finish the Super 8s as the top-ranked team in Group 1 and qualify for the semi-finals, will most likely face England in the semi-finals.
India are more than likely to finish the Super 8 stage as the number 1 team in the group as they have a very good Net Run Rate (NRR) of +2.425. Even if they lose against Australia in their last Super 8 match, it is unlikely that they will be displaced from the top position, which they currently occupy. And if India defeat Australia, they are certain to end the Super 8 stage as the number 1 ranked team.

Australia Face Un Uphill Task Against India
Australia are in a must-win situation as a loss could potentially end their T20 World Cup 2024 journey. If they are defeated by India, they will need to hope that Bangladesh defeat Afghanistan in their final Super 8s match and that Bangladesh end with a lower NRR than Australia's NRR of +0.223. However, if they win, they must hope that Afghanistan do not win by a large margin and surpass Australia's NRR.
