ENG vs IND Today Cricket Match Preview: The second semi-final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 will be played today at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. On one side are defending champions India, who will give their all to retain the title at home, and on the other side is the "Young England" team led by Harry Brook. India gained momentum by defeating West Indies in the last match, while England defeated New Zealand to make it to the semi-finals. This is the third consecutive T20 World Cup semi-final between the two teams, which has made this rivalry even bigger.
England vs India Dream11 Prediction

IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction: The Wankhede pitch has always been a batting paradise, but today some grass has been left, which could help the fast bowlers. This is Suryakumar Yadav's home ground, so he will be the biggest "X-factor." England's Jos Buttler and Phil Salt could be dangerous in the powerplay. For India, Sanju Samson's form (97* in the last match) is a big boost. It would make sense to keep top-order batsmen and death-over specialist bowlers in the Dream11 team.

- Wicketkeeper: Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, Ishan Kishan
- Batsmen: Suryakumar Yadav (C), Harry Brook, Abhishek Sharma

England vs India Pitch Report

ENG vs IND Pitch Report: The pitch at Wankhede Stadium is flat and fast-bouncing. Short boundaries make it easy to post a 200+ score. The curators have left a light grass today, so Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer could cause trouble initially. Dew (OS) will be a factor at night, so winning the toss and bowling first would be a safe option.
