India vs England Semi-Final Probable Playing 11: The second semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024 will be played between India and England on Thursday. The match will be played at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. Team India is still unbeaten in the tournament. India has defeated Australia in the last match of Super-8. Meanwhile, defending champions England have lost two matches in the tournament. India and England also faced each other in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2022. Then the Rohit brigade had to face defeat. India will now look to retaliate.
Will there be any changes in the Indian team?
There is no possibility of any change in India’s playing eleven. However, captain Rohit Sharma’s comments have led to speculations that India may go with four spinners. Rohit said on the eve of the semi-final that we will assess the conditions and then decide to play four spinners. If that happens, another wrist spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal, can be included in the squad. Let us tell you that wickets in the Caribbean grounds are helpful for spin bowling. Virat Kohli has not been able to do anything special as an opener so far. But there is no hope of any change in Kohli’s position.
India’s Probable Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicket keeper), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dubey, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav.
Will fast bowler Mark Wood make an entry?
The biggest dilemma facing England captain Jos Buttler will be whether to keep Chris Jordan in the playing XI or not. Jordan has just taken a hat-trick. Fast bowler Mark Wood could step in if the England camp skips Jordan. Wood’s added speed would be a nice addition. Adil Rashid bowled a good spell (1 wicket for 20 runs) for England in the semi-final against India two years ago. He will again try to control India’s runs in the middle order. In such a situation, India will need to be a bit cautious. Rashid Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav have been dismissed twice each in T20 Internationals.
England’s Probable Playing XI: Philip Salt, Jos Buttler (captain and wicketkeeper), Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Jofra Archer, Reece Topley, Adil Rashid.
