MATCH PREVIEW     

We are in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 semifinals, and Indians will be up against England in the 2nd Semifinal. Both teams will be confident they have done well in the tournament, especially for the Indians, who haven't tasted a loss. The Indians have been in phenomenal form in the last seven games. They defeated the mighty Aussies in the last game and improved their odds with this win. They have won the last four out of six games against England and will take inspiration from those victories. England defeated the United States in their last Super 8 game to book a berth in the semis. They have big-match players, adding to their advantage. Both teams have good hitters; we expect it to be a tight and high-scoring contest.   

India Preview     

Rohit Sharma's side has stormed into the semifinal with a 24-run win against Australia. This win would make them confident as it has come against the strongest side in the world. They have enjoyed an unbeaten streak in this tournament, and their odds are high on cricket betting apps. Shamra will know about England's strengths with the bat and expect his side to build on this momentum and reach the final for the first time since 2014.  

Rohit Sharma played a match-winning knock in the last game, perhaps the best in his career. The side will expect him to lead from the front and deliver a good start with struggling Virat Kohli. The middle order has been rock-solid in the tournament, and they need good performances from Rishab Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shivam Dube. Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel add firepower to the batting lineup.  

The bowling attack came under pressure for the first time this tournament in the last game. The Indians need early Arshdeep Singh, and Jasprit Bumrah strikes to rock England's strong batting lineup. Kuldeep Yadav looks in excellent shape and has a good record against England, and he must do well in the middle overs with Axar Patel and Pandya. The side will need a better show from Jadeja in the supporting role, as he has struggled.  

Expected Starting XI for India     

Rohit Sharma (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Virat Kohli, Shivam Dube, Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav 

England Preview     

Jos Buttler's team delivered the goods when it mattered the most. The defending champions defeated the United States by 10 wickets in their last Super 8 game. The team has struggled with its consistency this tournament, and they must overcome it all now to justify their odds on cricket betting sites. The Indians will come hard at them, and Buttler expects his players to do well.  

Buttler played a captain's knock in the last game, and he will look to deliver a good start with Philip Salt in this game. They have a formidable middle order and need partnerships between Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, and Moeen Ali in the middle order. Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, and Chris Jordan will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order against a strong spin attack their opponents have.  

Reece Topley and Jofra Archer are key bowlers for the team, and they must get early breakthroughs to put the Indians under pressure. Adil Rashid is enjoying a great tournament, and he must do well in the middle overs along with Sam Curran. In the supporting roles, the team will expect good performances from Livingstone and Chris Jordan.  

Expected Starting XI for England     

Jos Buttler (c & wk), Philip Salt, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley 

TOSS: To Bat First      

Guyana has a good batting surface, and both teams have good hitters on their sides. The wicket will slow down in the second innings, making run chases difficult like we have seen in this tournament. The side winning the toss would look to play it safe by opting to bat first on this wicket.  

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS      

We may have rain during this game. While the flat surface has allowed batsmen to score runs, the overcast skies will aid the bowlers in this game. Batsmen must approach this wicket with caution under these weather conditions, and the side batting first will need 180 runs on this track to defend it successfully.  

OUR PREDICTION      

England has won games when the top order did well in this tournament, and they will need the openers to fire at the top. The middle order has had its struggles in the last few games. It will also be challenging for their bowlers as the Indians are in good form with the bat. The Indians have been the favorite side, as per our cricket betting tips, and they have a stronger bowling attack, making them favorites in this contest.  

Our prediction is for India to win
