India and England faced off in the semifinal of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. India, who had remained unbeaten throughout the tournament, were looking to avenge their loss against England in the previous edition's semifinal. The match was scheduled to take place at Providence Stadium in Georgetown, Guyana.

Rohit Sharma led India from the front with a score of 94 runs against Australia in their last Super Eights match. England, on the other hand, were preparing well for Virat Kohli and expected a big performance from him. However, severe weather warnings had been issued in Georgetown as heavy showers were forecast, which could interrupt or even wash out parts of the game.

India's predicted XI included Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav. England's predicted XI included Jos Buttler (captain and wicketkeeper), Phil Salt, Will Jacks, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid and Reece Topley.

Despite England's preparation for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's form in the tournament so far, India outplayed them. They defeated England by 68 runs with a total score of 171-7, which proved to be too many for England to chase down.

England captain Jos Buttler admitted that his team had been comprehensively outplayed and regretted bowling first due to the pitch conditions. Adil Rashid dismissed Rohit Sharma in England's innings, but it was not enough to prevent India from reaching the final.

India will now take on South Africa in the final on Saturday at 14:30 GMT.

    The article contains a few informal fallacies and an appeal to authority. The author quotes Jos Buttler's opinion on the match without presenting any counterarguments or critical analysis. Additionally, there is an example of a dichotomous depiction by stating that either England's captain 'thought long and hard about selection, about whether we kept the same balance that we’d been playing with that had been working well, or did we need four seamers on that particular wicket.' This implies a false dichotomy between keeping the same balance or changing the team composition entirely.
    • . . . India outplayed defending champions at the Providence Stadium on a pitch that had assistance for spinners and kept low regularly.
    • A defining factor in the match was how well Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav (3 wickets each) and Ravindra Jadeja bowled. The trio combined for 11 overs, 58 runs and 6 wickets.
    • Buttler however insisted that he had no second thoughts about bowling first, even in hindsight.

    The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when Matthew Mott, England's coach, states that 'We know how he (Virat Kohli) can play; we know how destructive he can be and we also know his game smartness.' This statement implies that because they have faced Kohli before, they have a superior understanding of his abilities and tactics. However, this does not necessarily mean that their knowledge guarantees victory in the upcoming match.

    • [[]Jos Buttler[]] India outplayed us, certainly. We let them maybe get 20/25 too many on a challenging surface that they played well on. They fully deserved to win.
    • [[]Steven Finn[]] It's just how England like to go about their games.
    • [[]Henry Moeran[]] India's devastation of Adelaide from two years ago is replaced by jubilation.
