DeutschIs England vs India on TV? How to watch T20 World Cup semi-final
Two of the favourites to win the T20 World Cup will battle it out at the semi-final stage as England take on India at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Today’s semi-final pits the two pre-tournament favourites against each other with the hosts, India, seeking to reach Sunday’s showpiece as they hope to defend the title they won in 2024.
India finished second in their Super 8s group having pulled off a great escape against the West Indies in their final match with Sanju Samson’s unbeaten 97 inspiring India to chase down the target of 196 with four balls remaining.
That victory sets them on a collision course with Harry Brook’s England who started the tournament slowly but won all three of their Super 8 matches to top Group B and reach the final four.
When is England vs India?
England vs India will begin at 1.30pm GMT on Thursday 5 March at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
How can I watch it?
Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the second semi-final live on Sky Sports with coverage beginning at 1pm. A live stream will be available via Sky Go.
Team news
England selected Rehan Ahmed for their final Super 8 match against New Zealand. Ahmed impressed taking two wickets and scoring a vital 19* helping England to a four wicket win. He replaced Jamie Overton for that game and England face a decision on whether to restore the seamer or stick with Ahmed for the semi-final.
India have plenty of strength in depth but could lean towards selecting the same XI that defeated West Indies in what was effectively a quarter-final for them. There are question marks over Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel’s places with Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar and Mohammed Siraj waiting in the wings.
Possible line-ups
England XI: Phil Salt, Jos Buttler (wk), Harry Brook (c), Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, Liam Dawson, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid
India XI: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah
AC Milan Vs Inter Milan – Italy Prodigy Set For Maiden Derby Della Madonnina Start: No Stranger To Scoring Vs Rossoneri
Inter Milan starlet Francesco Pio Esposito could make his inaugural Derby della Madonnina start when the Nerazzurri take on AC Milan on Sunday.
According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the 20-year-old is no stranger to scoring against the Rossoneri, though he has yet to do so at senior level.
With ten points separating the sides ahead of Sunday’s kickoff, Inter could land a knockout blow on Milan’s Scudetto hopes this weekend.
However, the Nerazzurri will have to achieve that without Lautaro Martinez, who remains in the pits with a calf injury.

Lautaro’s absence leaves a significant hole in Inter’s attack, handing Pio Esposito a golden opportunity to shine on the grandest stage.
Indeed, the Italian prodigy is likely to get the nod in attack ahead of French star Ange-Yoan Bonny, who has just recovered from injury.
Esposito has been in far better form than Marcus Thuram lately, and he will shoulder the burden of expectations on Sunday.
However, if there’s anyone capable of scoring against the Rossoneri, it’s Esposito, who had frequently found the net against them at youth level.

Jürgen Klinsmann hails Harry Kane as "fantastic" and "the best ambassador you could wish for"
With a remarkable 130 goals in 133 games in all competitions, Harry Kane has been a big hit at Bayern Munich since making the move to Germany from Tottenham for a reported €95 million fee in the summer of 2023.
German World Cup winner and former Bayern player and coach Jürgen Klinsmann has followed the 32-year-old England captain’s Bundesliga achievements with admiration and sees him as an ideal ambassador for the league.
“What Harry has done since joining Bayern Munich is simply incredible," Klinsmann told Bulinews.com and other selected media at a virtual roundtable on Wednesday.
“It’s unbelievable. He's not only a fantastic player on the pitch, with all the goals, assists and records, but also an ambassador of the game.”
Klinsmann believes Kane is respected and admired across Germany, and not just by his own club's supporters.
“People in Germany love him – and not just Bayern Munich fans. Everybody adores him for his qualities. He’s the best ambassador you could ask for, coming from England and playing in the Bundesliga," Klinsmann added, before making a World Cup prediction:
“I was asked today who I think will be the top goalscorer at the World Cup, and I said Harry right away.”
Having scored 30 goals in 24 Bundesliga matches so far in the 2025/26 season, Kane is chasing Robert Lewandowski’s record of 41 goals in a single Bundesliga campaign.
During the interview on Wednesday, Klinsmann expressed confidence in Kane’s chances of breaking the record.
However, the England captain now has one game less to add to his tally, as it was confirmed Thursday morning that he will miss Bayern Munich's Friday clash with Borussia Mönchengladbach due to a calf injury.
