Fans are very excited about the semi-final between India and England in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. However, before the match, a video is becoming increasingly viral on social media, in which it is being claimed that due to US-Iran tension and the situation in the Middle East, this match may be canceled or postponed.

Is there really a crisis in the match?

Be careful of rumors on social media

Was lunar eclipse really the reason?
