The India vs England clash in the semifinal two will be interesting to watch since the two top teams will be playing against each other with a strong history. India are unbeaten in the tournament, while England have had a shaky start. However, they did implement their skills later on and qualified for the Super 8 and the semi-finals. They have played some good cricket in the last few matches, which helped them qualify for the knockout stage. Now, England have been lucky in the ICC tournament, and India’s luck doesn’t favour them much. Hence, it will surely be a beautiful match for the viewers.
Let’s talk about the three key battles in India vs England’s clash, which could potentially determine the outcome of the match:
1. Rohit Sharma vs Jofra Archer
Rohit Sharma is a world-class batter, and he will be facing Jofra Archer during the initial overs of the game. This particular battle will be interesting to watch, considering the form both players are in. Rohit is known to go after the bowlers, while Archer is famous for dismantling the stumps. In three innings, Archer dismissed the batter only once, and the batter scored 14 runs.
2. Suryakumar Yadav vs Adil Rashid:
India’s Suryakumar Yadav is a great T20I batter with the best records against all the bowlers. However, against Adil Rashid, he has scored 39 runs off 17 balls, while the bowler has taken his wicket twice. While SKY is in great form in the tournament, tactics against Rashid will be seen during the clash against England.
3. Jos Buttler vs Jasprit Bumrah:
Jos Buttler’s recent performance in the World Cup will be haunting the Indian team before the start of the game. On the other hand, Bumrah has been a consistent player for India for a long time now. He has gotten some fantastic breakthroughs in the tournament, which helped India win all the matches. Hence, against England, he’ll be the key player who can take Buttler’s wicket.
