India has an upper hand over England in T20 cricket
In the knockout match, the Indian team will once again be seen facing Jos Buttler's army led by Rohit Sharma. The two teams have clashed 23 times in T20 cricket in which India has the upper hand. Team India has won 12 matches while England has tasted victory in 11 matches. At the same time, in the history of the T20 World Cup, England has faced India four times. Both the teams have won two matches each.
Good performance is expected from Kohli
In this match, India is once again expecting a strong performance from Rohit Sharma. His bat roared against Australia. He smashed Starc and Pat Cummins by playing a stormy innings of 92 runs. Such a performance is expected from him in the upcoming match as well. Virat Kohli will be seen supporting Rohit. However, the form of the star batsman is a matter of concern. So far in the current tournament, he has been able to score only 66 runs. In this situation, Yashasvi Jaiswal may have to sit out once again. He has not been made a part of the playing 11 so far.
Eye on Surya
Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant will come at number three. In the last six matches, he has scored 167 runs at a strike rate of 132.53. Suryakumar Yadav will be seen batting at number four. In the current tournament, he has scored 149 runs with the help of two half-centuries. He will be the biggest hope for India in the upcoming match. Shivam Dubey will bat at number five. In this situation, Sanju Samson may have to sit out. At the same time, vice-captain Hardik Pandya will be seen showing his flair once again. He has shone with the ball and bat in the T20 World Cup.
Bowlers will wreak havoc
Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav are sure to be in the spin department. All three bowlers have left a special impact on the West Indies pitches with their lethal bowling. At the same time, Jasprit Bumrah will be seen handling the responsibility of the fast bowling attack. Arshdeep Singh will be seen supporting him. Hardik Pandya will also be seen bowling his share of four overs.
