India is about to do something big as they are ready to play the reigning champions, England, in the Twenty20 World Cup semi-finals on Thursday in Guyana.
A win will dispel questions about their capacity to compete in knockout rounds while bringing them one step closer to their first major title in almost ten years.
Men In Blue has been unable to consistently win on the international front, with its most recent victory coming in the 2013 Champions Trophy, even with the support of the richest cricket board in the world.
With a six-game winning streak going into the match against England, Rohit Sharma’s team is motivated to emulate the feat of the 2007 squad that won the first edition. In the Super Eight stage, Rohit and Virat Kohli, who might be playing in their final World Cup together, found form with a scorching 92 off 41 balls against Australia. Rohit also highlighted the team’s aggressive mentality.
IND vs ENG head-to-head record:
There have been 23 T20I meetings between India and England thus far. India has twelve victories against England’s eleven, giving them a small advantage. Given that India and England have won two of their last four Twenty20 international matches against one another, their recent performance points to a close encounter.
Who will win the match?
The much-awaited India (IND) vs. England (ENG) match! In international cricket, each side has a proven track record. As of late, England has proven competitive in the World Cup, while India has been on a winning streak. But India’s batting order might face some resistance from England’s potent bowling unit. Considering India’s recent performance, I would choose them to win, but it will be a closely contested game.
