Indian Team Preview Before India VS England Semi-Final:
The Indian team is riding high on confidence after winning their last two games. The game against Bangladesh was also an eye-opener. The Indian team was struggling in that game while Liton Das was batting. It was a big reality for the Indian bowlers. The Indian batting has played decently well. They find it difficult to play the “slam-bang” game but the traditional scoring method is implemented very well by Indian batters. Surya and Virat are the top batters for India in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022.

England Team Preview Before India VS England Semi-Final:
Jos Butler is back to form since the last game. The England team is filled with match-winners. Even if one of those players gets going, they can take the game away from the opposition.
