India: There are no injury concerns for Men in Blue and they have stuck to the same playing XI. However, with the pitch in Guyana favouring spinners, Team India would be tempted to bring in Yuzvendra Chahal in place of a bowler.
England: Like India, all the players are available for selection for England. Looking at the surface, they might include Will Jacks to use his spin bowling.
Playing Conditions For Semi-Finals

Preview by Ajay Pal Singh
The Ghosts of Adelaide will loom over Team India when they take the field at the National Stadium in Guyana in T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final 2 against England on Thursday (June 27).
The last time these two sides met in the T20 World Cup, it was a semi-final Down Under and England's current skipper Jos Buttler and Alex Hales stitched together an unbeaten 170-run stand to knock India out of the global event.
Rohit Sharma's men, who have avenged the ODI World Cup final defeat by beating Australia in Super 8s and knocking them out of the tournament, will take the field in Guyana to settle scores, this time against England.
India looked like the favourites to lift the trophy in Australia in the previous edition of the T20 World Cup but they ran into an English side who, on the day, played fearless cricket and took down every single Indian bowler.
The weather forecast for this game is not too promising as rain is likely to play spoilsport. However, the Men in Blue won't mind a washout as it will give them a direct entry into the finals.
India topped Group 1 and if their semi-final against England gets abandoned, they will progress to the semis because of their record in the Super 8s.
Before that, India only dropped points due to a washout against Canada. They hammered Ireland, Pakistan and the USA in the first round.
England, on the other hand, were struggling to even make it to the Super 8s after their washout against Scotland was followed by a defeat against Australia.
They thrashed Oman and Namibia but had to rely on Australia to beat Scotland to get through to the next round.
Even in Super 8s, they started with a win over the West Indies and then suffered a close defeat against South Africa, In their final Super 8s game, they brushed aside the USA to qualify for the semis.
However, the defending champions had to wait till India's game to know their semi-final venue.
