India vs England on June 27

Unbeaten India (IND) take on the defending champions England (ENG) in the semi-final 2 of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. The two pre-tournament favorites will face each other at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, on Thursday, June 27. India have won six games so far in the marquee event. Their match against Canada in the first round was abandoned due to a wet outfield. In the Super Eight stage, they notched up comprehensive wins against Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Australia. Meanwhile, England's opening fixture ended without a result against Scotland before they suffered a defeat to Australia. Their hopes of progressing beyond the first round were dwindling at one point but they managed to bounce back strongly and make the cut for the Super Eights. Jos Buttler's men suffered a defeat versus South Africa but wins against West Indies and the USA helped them seal a spot in the semis. India and England faced each other in the semifinals of the 2022 T20 World Cup. The Three Lions emerged victorious by 10 wickets. However, fans can expect a much closer affair this time, with India being slight favorites considering their recent form.

Best economical pick – English opening batter Phil Salt looks in great form and can give his side a great start to get close to defending their title. He played a brilliant role in leading KKR to win the IPL in 2024, and he can repeat the same for his national side.

Top captains & vice captains – India's captain, Rohit Sharma, was magnificent in the last clash against Australia, single-handedly thrashing them out of the ongoing showpiece event. The 38-year-old cricketer will again be looking to give the team a great start against the defending champions. England skipper Jos Buttler looks in terrific form, and he will once again be looking to destroy Team India in the upcoming game. The top-order batter amassed over 80 runs and stitched the stand with Alex Hales to help his side win the game by 10 wickets during the 2022 T20 World Cup.

Smart pick – The right-arm pacer has been in splendid form so far in the T20 World Cup 2024. He has taken 11 wickets from six matches at an average of 8.55. His economy rate is a miserly 4.09. Jasprit Bumrah is expected to get a good amount of help from the surface in Guyana and England batters will have to bring their A-game to the fore to counter him.

Cautious Pick – The star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has just picked up one wicket in the whole edition and also holds the record for the poor economy amongst the Indian bowlers in the showpiece event.

My XI – Rohit Sharma (Captain), Jos Buttler (Vice-Captain), Jasprit Bumrah, Phil Salt, Suryakumar Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, Harry Brook, Shivam Dube,Liam Livingstone
