T20 World Cup 2024, IND vs ENG match : With the intention of entering the final of the T20 World Cup, the match between India and England is going to start today in Guyana. Team India, led by Rohit Sharma, has won all the matches with great confidence except the match washed out by rain. Now India is expected to reach the T20 World Cup final again after 10 years. At the same time, the defending champion England team is hoping for a repeat of the semi-final of the last T20 World Cup, in which they defeated India by 10 wickets. However, looking at the form of the players of both the teams, India is being considered a strong contender to enter the final.
The confidence of the Indian batsmen is at its peak
Team India's batsmen have impressed with tremendous confidence. Captain Rohit Sharma also took the scoreboard forward rapidly, while Pant was dismissed on one run. Apart from Kohli, the performance of the team's batsmen has been excellent. Suryakumar and Hardik Pandya have scored aggressive half-centuries. Dubey and Akshar have also batted usefully for the team, due to which it is expected that the Indian batting will dominate the England bowlers. The strong form of Team India's bowlers, all-rounders including Arshdeep, Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav along with Hardik Pandya have contributed to the team's success with deadly bowling. India has won a total of 6 matches to enter the semi-finals in this T20 World Cup and four of these victories have come to India while batting first. Arshdeep has taken 15, Bumrah 11 and Hardik 8 wickets. Kuldeep has worked magic in the Super-Eight. The team is expecting a memorable performance from Jadeja.
England's dependence on batting, bowling problems
The main responsibility of the England team will be on the batsmen. After reaching the verge of being eliminated from the T20 World Cup, Butler's team has made a strong comeback. England's batting line-up is very strong due to the presence of captain Butler and Salt along with Bairstow, Brook and Moeen Ali and batsmen like Livingstone and Sam Curran. Also, since these players have IPL experience, they can make an impact against India. While the responsibility of the team's bowling will be on Topley, Archer, Jordan and Woodper. Adil Rashid and Moeen and Livingstone can also perform well in the match.
What happens if the match is washed out?
There is a 90 percent chance of rain in the second semi-final to be played between India and England and the ICC has not kept any reserve schedule for this match. If it rains, the officials will wait 250 minutes more than the scheduled time i.e. 4 hours and 10 minutes to complete the match. If the match gets washed out due to rain, the Indian team will enter the final without playing, because in the Super-Eight, India was at the top of its group and England was at the second position in its group. Talking about the top team in Group-1 and Group-2, India is at the top with six points after winning three matches in Group-1. Team India's net run rate is 2.017. At the same time, in Group-2, England's team is at the second position with six points after winning two out of three matches. Their net run rate is 1.992. So if the match is not played due to rain, India will reach the semi-finals.
A total of 23 T20 matches were played between the two countries
Talking about the total T20 matches played between the two countries, both the teams have played a total of 23 matches so far, out of which India has won 12 and England has won 11.
