India will square off against England in the second semifinal at the Providence Stadium, Guyana on Thursday. The Men in Blue will want to bring their best in the all-important semifinal as there is no scope for any mistakes from here on.
India has been brilliant with the ball as the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, and Hardik Pandya have done a fantastic job. However, Virat Kohli’s form remains a concern for the team and he would want to come to the party in the big match.
On the other hand, England will want to come up with a collective effort to take one more step toward their title defense.
