It's been an impressive tournament for both nations, with both having lost just once so far. India went through the first phase undefeated, then suffered their only defeat (to South Africa) in the second phase, in what has been a solid home tournament.

For England, their sole defeat came in the first phase, when they lost to the West Indies before going 100% in the Super 8.

Now, both will be competing for a place in the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup final…

Quick Picks

Our pick: India to win

Value bet: Abhishek Sharma & Sanju Samson to Score 20+ Runs Each

Long shot: 'Yes' in the 'Both Teams to Reach 180+ Runs Each'

Betting Preview

The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is worth considering, as both teams have had one tournament game at this venue so far.

India defeated the USA by 29 runs as they posted 161/9 in their 20 overs, with USA managing 132/8 in response.

England experienced their only defeat of the competition at this venue, losing by 30 runs to the West Indies. Chasing 196/6, England only managed 166 from 19 overs before being bowled out.

In the only other game played at Wankhede Stadium, WI defeated Nepal by 9 wickets, chasing down 134 in 15.2 overs. This suggests that wickets can be taken on this surface, with both India and England scoring totals in the 160s.

Betting Markets to Watch

In the batting markets, there is value worth exploring in the 'Abhishek Sharma & Sanju Samson to Score 20+ Runs Each' market. Sharma hit 135 from 54 balls in a game at this venue against England in 2025, while Samson is in good form, having hit 97* against WI in the Super 8.

Suryakumar Yadav offers value in the 'Top India Run Scorer' market, having hit 84* against the USA in an effort that stopped them from suffering an embarrassing defeat. He had 10 4s and 4 6s in his innings that saw him face 49 balls.

Mohammed Siraj offers value in the 'Leading Wicket Taker' market, as he took 3 against the USA on the Wankhede Stadium pitch. Varun Chakravarthy offers smaller but decent value, representative of his 12 wickets in the tournament (one fewer than the leader).
