Michael Vaughan Makes Big 'England v India' T20 World Cup Semi-Final Prediction

Former cricketer Michael Vaughan seems quite excited about the prospects of England potentially taking on India in the T20 World Cup 2024 semi-finals. England and South Africa have booked their place in the semi-finals, overcoming co-hosts West Indies and USA at the Super Eight stage. Meanwhile, in the other group, India, Australia and Afghanistan are battling for the remaining two semi-final spots. India are almost sure to reach the next round, having bagged two wins so far in the Super Eight stage. Ahead of India’s upcoming game against Australia, Vaughan has expressed his desire to see “England v India” in the semi-final of this T20 World Cup.

The prediction can turn true if India finish at the top of their group. To make that happen, Rohit Sharma and his men will need to beat Australia. England have already wrapped up their Super Eight campaign with two victories. The defending champions have finished second in their group right behind South Africa, who won all three matches.

Michael Vaughan is hopeful about India entering the semi-final as the table toppers. After England qualified for the knockouts, Vaughan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “England v India semi anyone?”

Michael Vaughan’s prediction caught the attention of many fans, who shared their thoughts in comments. Some of them reminisced about the 2022 T20 World Cup where India took on England in the semi-final.

England had dominated the match, thanks to Jos Buttler and Alex Hales. The English openers chased down a 169-run target to secure a 10-wicket victory, knocking India out of the tournament.

“Don’t want it, but can’t avoid it. Memories of 2022 are still fresh,” wrote a social media user.

Another fan wanted Team India to “take revenge” for that humiliating defeat in the 2022 T20 World Cup semi-final.

One user predicted that India vs England “would be a great contest.” “Bumrah/Kuldeep vs Sledgehammer English batters would be fun to watch. Let’s have some fun!” he added.

England ensured their place in the semi-final by defeating the co-hosts USA in a low-scoring Super Eight fixture on Sunday. The USA batted first in Barbados and were bowled out for 115. England lost no wicket during the chase and notched the victory in the tenth over. Meanwhile, India will take on Australia in the last Super Eight game on June 24 in Saint Lucia.
