IND vs ENG: The first semi-final between South Africa and Afghanistan has ended with the Proteas booking a seat in the final of the Men’s T20 World Cup for the first time. Now, the focus will shift to the second semi-final, where England will take on India at Providence Stadium in Guyana. This match will decide the second finalist of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
It is a game between two powerhouses, and the stakes of this match are very high. Both teams have all the ingredients to win this, and only time will tell which team will have the upper hand. Everything is on the line and there are some records which can be achieved during this IND vs ENG semifinal, which we will talk here below.
3 Massive records which can be broken during IND vs ENG semifinal
1. Most Successful T20I Captain
Team India have been undefeated in this tournament and won six out of seven matches, while one game was washed out. With that, Rohit has equalled Babar Azam’s record for the most T20I wins as captain. Rohit has won 48 games out of 60; he has led, while Babar has won 48 out of 85. If India win the IND vs ENG semifinal, then Rohit will become the first captain with 49 T20I wins, and he has the best winning ratio among the top ten captains of all time.
2. Most Wickets in Single Edtion of T20 World Cup
The current record for most wickets in a single T20 World Cup edition is held by Afghanistan’s pacer, Fazalhaq Farooqi. He ended the ongoing tournament with 17 wickets in 8 matches. India’s left-arm pacer, Arshdeep Singh, is just two wickets behind him. He is also in good form. If Arshdeep has taken 15 wickets in 6 innings at an economy rate of 7.41, if Arshdeep can take three wickets in the game, he will become the bowler with the most wickets in a single T20 World Cup edition.
3. First Captain to lead a team to two consecutive final
Not just for India; if England win the IND vs ENG semifinal, then Jos Buttler also has a brilliant chance to create history. Buttler took England to victory in the 2022 edition in his first attempt. If England win here, they will go through to the final again, and Buttler will become the first ever captain to take a team to consecutive finals of the T20 World Cup.
