India Reach T20 World Cup Semi-Finals for 6th Time

India booked their spot in the T20 World Cup semi-finals with a five-wicket win over the West Indies, marking their sixth appearance in the tournament's history.

Chasing 196 at Eden Gardens, India held their nerves to complete the chase with four balls to spare. This victory sets up a highly anticipated rematch against England, whom they defeated in the 2022 semis but lost to in the 2022 final.

This semi-final appearance marks India's sixth time reaching the last four since the inaugural tournament in 2007, tying them with Pakistan and England for the most semi-final berths. The team has won the trophy twice (2007 and 2024) and will look to go one step further against England.
