Another knockout game England Cricket Team will take on India in the all-important IND vs ENG Semi finals of the ICC T20 World Cup. A lot will be at stake, especially on English skipper Jos Buttler who has been fairly decent in the tournament so far. Apart from Buttler, India will also be aware of the threat which Chris Jordan will bring, after his exceptional hattrick in the previous game.
Core Setup remains same!
It is safe to say, England were not considered as the favorites to defend their title in the ICC T20 World Cup. But now as the tournament progressed on, things have taken a sharp turn. England are just a step away from reaching the finals. Throughout the tournament, England’s setup has remained the same moreorless.
Phil Salt and Jos Buttler will open the account for the Three Lions. Down the order, England boasts of having the likes of hard hitters like Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook and Moeen Ali. Given the fire power that England possess, the Three Lions can do a lot of harm to the Indian side.
Liam Livingstone is a fine finisher as is Sam Curran. Curran with his all-rounder skills is a huge asset for the defending champions.
Lastly comes England’s strong pace attack. Chris Jordan, the new hattrick hero, along with Jofra Archer and Reece Topley is a strong pace unit. As for the spin department, Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali will share the responsibility. Curran will also be a good fourth seam option, should the need arise.
