IND vs ENG T20 World Cup 2024 Pitch Report
In the second semifinal of the T20 World Cup 2024, India and England square off at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. Providence Cricket Stadium in Georgetown features a sluggish pitch that requires batters to work hard in order to score runs. Most of the T20 World Cup matches that were played here were controlled by bowlers, especially spinners. Because of the wicket’s sluggishness and spin, spinners like to bowl here. But pacers can also receive assistance if rain falls, which is predicted to happen. At this venue, spinners account for the top five wicket-takers. The slow nature of this pitch makes it challenging for batters to time the bowl properly and play big shots.
Having won each game that they have played in this T20 World Cup, the Men in Blue enter this match undefeated, which boosts their confidence. On the other hand, England has suffered two losses in this tournament, one against South Africa and the other against Australia. So, considering the form and performance in this T20 World Cup, India could easily cruise past England.
