England captain Jos Buttler won the toss and elected to field first against unbeaten India in the semifinals at the Twenty20 World Cup. The toss was delayed by 80 minutes because of heavy early morning rain that left the outfield wet. The winner will face South Africa in Saturday’s final at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados.

Fans carry India n flags in the stands as groundsmen cover the field after wet outfield delayed the start of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup second semifinal cricket match between England and India at the Guyana National Stadium in Providence, Guyana, Thursday, June 27, 2024.

According to playing conditions of the tournament, at least 10-overs-a-side is a must to constitute a game in the knockout stage. Captain Rohit Sharma has been superb throughout the tournament in the United States and Caribbean, making 92 in India’s latest win over Australia. Jasprit Bumrah has been effective both on pitches in New York and the Caribbean, taking 11 wickets.South Africa beats Afghanistan to reach the Twenty20 World Cup final, ending a long cricket droughtSharma said he would have batted first had he won the toss in the “big game” against the defending champion.

Buttler carries some happy memories of his last meeting with India when England won by 10 wickets at Adelaide in the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup.
