The India cricket team is once again gearing up for another knockout game. After beating Australia in the Super Eight of the T20 World Cup 2024, the Indian team has successfully cemented its place in the semifinals. They will play against England, just like last year, where unfortunately the results didn’t go India’s way, they lost the game by 10 wickets. Now, the Indian team has a pretty good chance to give back to the English side. Since the occasion is significant and people are anticipating the outcome, let’s take a look at India’s semifinal record in the T20 World Cup ahead of this thriller.

India’s overall semifinal record in ICC events
When it comes to the overall record, the men in blue have a decent history. However, it is also true that over the past decade, the team has qualified for the semifinals many times but failed to capitalize and lost on many occasions.
On the other hand, India has made six semifinal appearances in 50 World Cups, winning four times and losing two. Their most recent win was against New Zealand in 2023, but they lost to Australia thereafter in finals. In T20 World Cups, the team has had a rough time in recent appearances, which India will aim to improve and overcome.
| Tournaments | Matches | Wins | Losses | Win % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Champions Trophy | 5 | 3 | 2 | 60 |
| T20 World Cup | 4 | 2 | 2 | 50 |
| 50 Over World Cup | 6 | 4 | 2 | 66.67 |
