India defeated Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Australia in the Super Eights of the T20 World Cup to qualify for the semi-finals. The Rohit Sharma-led side has had an outstanding campaign so far but they can’t afford to relax, given how the ODI World Cup 2023 panned out in the end. In the semi-final at Providence Stadium in Guyana, the Men in Blue will challenge defending champions England and given the history both teams share, it will be a fiery battle.
In 2022, India faced England in the semi-finals in Adelaide. In that match, Jos Buttler and Alex Hales wreaked havoc, helping the Three Lions win by 10 wickets. India are very well aware of the kind of damage England can do in the shortest format. They like to play an aggressive brand of cricket, which can trouble India. However, given the form Arshdeep Singh and Jasprit Bumrah are in, the Jos Buttler-led side needs to be cautious.
Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma is in sensational form at the moment. He smashed 92 runs off 41 deliveries in the last match against Australia, which should boost his confidence. Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya have done well too with the bat as India look like the team to beat in the tournament. Among England cricketers, Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone will be key.
