IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match Semi-final 2, ICC T20 World Cup 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for Match Semi-final 2 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 between IND vs ENG to be played in Mumbai.

The defending champion, India, are all set to take on the two-time winner, England, in the second semi-final of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. This contest is slated to be played at Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, March 5.

India have been brilliant since South Africa hammered them in Ahmedabad. They have now produced two clinical wins. However, Abhishek Sharma has still been an issue at the top. Sanju Samson has managed to do well, but India want runs from the No. 1 ranked T20I batter.

Varun Chakravarthy has also looked under-par in the last few games. So, they have some areas of concern. Similarly, both English openers have been under pressure and are struggling. But they will like the batting in Mumbai.

England also do not have an in-form bowling unit; that is where they will look to bat India out. So, one of these sides will inch closer to the trophy.

IND vs ENG: Pitch Report

The first few pictures of the wicket indicate it to be a batting paradise. Generally, the wicket in Mumbai plays in favour of the batters, which is the expectation here as well.

The boundaries here are not big, and the outfield is very quick. But the toss will be crucial because of the dew in the second innings. Hence, batting second should be the go-to way.

IND vs ENG: Dream11 Prediction – Who Will Win?

The last time these two teams met in T20I, it was at this venue, where Abhishek Sharma tore the English bowlers apart. But the pressure will be different, and the team that can perform well will win. England have been good, but they have found players stepping up under pressure.

Their bowling is something, which is a concern. For India, Jasprit Bumrah can make a big difference. Overall, they have been pretty good, despite some players struggling. But we back India to win this game.
