India fared quite well in the tournament after they played out a last-ball thrilling win against arch-rivals Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. A comfortable victory over the Netherlands made it 2/2 wins before South Africa broke the streak and recorded a five-wicket win. However, Rohit Sharma’s men registered back-to-back victories against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe to make the wind the final four.
On the other hand, England started off with a comfortable 5-wicket win against Afghanistan in their tournament opener before being stunned by Ireland. Jos Buttler’s men tasted a narrow 5-run defeat against fellow neighbours due to the DLS method. Later, their clash against Australia was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain. Despite a few small blips, they managed to qualify for the semifinals of the World Cup 2022 after recording wins against New Zealand and Sri Lanka in their Super 12 games.
While the Men in Blue have a better India vs England Head to Head record on paper, they also have a lot to worry about ahead of the highly anticipated clash. The batting form of Indian openers remains under question, as well as Axar Patel’s performance in the ongoing T20 World Cup.
England started off the tournament as ‘favourites’ and has lived up to the name so far. They are firing all cylinders across various departments, with Sam Curran, Mark Wood, Moeen Ali, and Jos Buttler playing curial roles in the team’s success. It remains interesting to see which team comes out on top in this encounter.
