India’s potential ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai isn’t guaranteed to be played there, sports reports say. Under the tournament’s hybrid model, India is slated to host the second semi-final in Mumbai if it faces any team other than Pakistan. However, if India and Pakistan meet in a semi-final, the match would shift to the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka, as neutral venue rules apply for the arch-rivals. This means Pakistan’s qualification could directly affect where India plays its knockout game. The shift might also have India playing on Holi, the major Indian festival. (PC: NDTV)
