Team India has been performing exceptionally well in the T20 World Cup, delighting their fans with an impressive victory over Australia in the Super 8’s match. Captain Rohit Sharma’s spectacular 92 runs off 42 balls were a highlight of the game. Now, the team is gearing up for a crucial semi-final match against defending champions England, scheduled for June 27.
In the same tournament, Team Afghanistan has also made headlines with their remarkable performance. They bowled out Bangladesh for just 105 runs in the Super 8’s and managed to knock Australia out of the World Cup. Afghanistan is set to face the undefeated South Africa in the other semi-final, also on June 27.
The semi-final matches will be held at different venues and times. Afghanistan will play against South Africa at 6 am IST at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy Stadium in Trinidad and Tobago. India will clash with England at 8 pm IST at the Providence Stadium in Guyana.
For fans eager to watch the matches, they can be streamed live for free on Disney+ Hotstar. Additionally, live coverage will be available on the Star Sports Network, ensuring that cricket enthusiasts can follow every moment of the semi-finals.
One significant change for the semi-finals is the requirement for both teams to bat a minimum of 10 overs, an increase from the five-over limit used in the rest of the tournament.
This adjustment is crucial given the frequent rain interruptions during the championship. If a match is washed out, the team that finished higher in their Super 8 group will advance to the final, which will be held at Kensington Oval Stadium in Barbados on June 29.
