T20 World Cup: England to take on New Zealand in first semi-final today

New Zealand have made no changes while maintaining the winning combination. However, changes have been made in the England team due to injuries. Injured Jason Roy has been replaced by Sam Billings in the English team.

Will England have the honor of playing in the T20 World Cup final for the third time or will New Zealand reach the final of the T20 World Cup for the first time after overcoming bad luck in the World Cup? The decision will be made today.

England reached the semi-final matches by winning the first four matches of Group A but lost to South Africa in the last group match.
