India vs England, T20 World Cup 2024: India team have reached Guyana ahead of their T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final match at the Providence Stadium on Thursday, June 27.

The match will be a repeat of last edition's semi-final which was won by England before they went on to lift the title.

BCCI posted a special video of the team's arrival at the venue for the all-important match. Skipper Rohit Sharma was seen having a fun time on the flight as can be seen in the video.

India will be heading into the semi-final match on the back of a crucial victory over Australia in their final Super 8 match, defeating the 2021 champions by 24 runs in St Lucia.

The Men in Blue are still unbeaten in the tournament, having first topped Group A with victories over Ireland, Pakistan and the USA.

They then got the better of Afghanistan, Bangladesh and the USA in the Super 8 stage.

England made it to the semi-final after defeating West Indie and the USA in the Super 8 stage whereas they suffered a seven-run defeat against South Africa.

The winner of the England and India semi-final match will face the winner of the other semi-final match between South Africa and Afghanistan in the summit clash.

India also are the former T20 WC champions, having lifted the title in the tournament's inaugural edition in 2007.
