How India Have Fared In The Semifinals In T20 World Cups
Shere Bangla National Stadium: Team India are set for their sixth semi-final appearance in 10 editions of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and will face England in the knockout game here at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday with an aim to defend their World Cup crown.
The Men in Blue first made it to the top four in the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2007, where they beat Australia by 15 runs in Durban to confirm the final against arch-rivals Pakistan.
India posted 157/5 in 20 overs riding on the current head coach Gautam Gambhir’s 75-run knock. Later, top bowling performances by RP Singh and Irfan Pathan helped the then MS Dhoni-led side beat their neighbours in Johannesburg to lift their maiden T20 World Cup title.
