Live streaming of the IND vs. ENG T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal: In the T20 World Cup semi-finals, India and England rematch, this time at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, almost two years after their thrilling matchup in Adelaide. India has never lost going into the game, whereas England has progressed despite defeats to Australia and South Africa. Both clubs are aware that in a knockout semifinal, prior results mean nothing.
Both teams have excellent wrist-spin alternatives in addition to powerful top-order hitters. In white-ball cricket, England has embraced an aggressive batting strategy since the 2015 World Cup. India changed their approach after their dismal batting performance in the 2022 semifinal, with captain Rohit Sharma prioritizing strike rate above average.
England was without Jofra Archer in Adelaide, while India was missing Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah. The three players are back now. The match between India’s bowlers, especially Kuldeep and Bumrah, and England’s hitters will be very important.
Both of the Indian bowlers are in outstanding form and have caused problems for England’s hitters in the past. Because of Guyana’s favorable spin environment, India, which also has Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja on its roster, stands to gain. Another important player in this World Cup will be Arshdeep Singh, who leads India in wickets taken.Adil Rashid and Jofra Archer of England have each taken nine wickets, and they have proved crucial. Their performance is going to be critical to keeping India’s total under control.
India’s successful mix is unlikely to alter, even with Virat Kohli’s recent setbacks. England, who are renowned for changing around their roster, is probably going to stick with what they have.India, the top-seeded and undefeated team in the Super 8s, will go to the final if the rain cancels the game. India wants to continue its winning run and earn a trip to the Barbados final, no matter the conditions.
Likely Starting XIs:
India’s players are: Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, and Rohit Sharma (captain).
Phil Salt, Jos Buttler (c, wk), Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Chris Jordan, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, and Reece Topley are the English players.
