India has been in first place
The Indian team is performing brilliantly in the T20 World Cup. It qualified for the semi-finals by defeating Australia. India is undefeated in this tournament so far and also secured the top position in the Super Eight after the group stage. On the other hand, England defeated the USA to qualify for the semi-finals. Earlier also in 2022, both the teams faced each other in the last four, where the England team won and made it to the final. India would like to avenge that defeat.
