Team India, who have successfully taken revenge on Australia for the ODI World Cup final loss, are ready and keen to repeat their performance against England during their clash in the second semi-final on Thursday.
The wounds of the 2022 semi-final in Adelaide are still fresh for the Men-In-Blue! Defending champions, England have knocked out India from the T20 World Cup in 2022 with an unbeaten opening partnership.
However, it is a different story in this year's tournament as the Rohit-led side has put up their 'A' game in the tourney so far. With the Hitman finding form and Bumrah in full swing India will look to take revenge for the last season.
Nonetheless, England have overcome challenges in the ICC event, they were continuously fighting to reach the semi-finals right from the league stage matches. At one stage they were competing with Scotland for a place in the Super eight's.
Captain Rohit Sharma, sounded very confident during the press conference and said that his only concern is that if the game is too late their flight to the venue might miss.
Star batter Virat Kohli, also will be looking to bounce back and if he finds back his class, England will have serious problems.
England's pacers including Wood and Archer will be the biggest challenge to team India, while their in-form spinner Adil Rashid will be an added advantage to their bowling unit.
Both teams are equally strong and we can expect a close game, however, team India will have a slight edge in the game owing to their better pressure handling the tournament.
