IND vs ENG: The battle of T20 World Cup 2024 has reached the semi-finals. Fans will once again get to see the semi-final match between India and England (IND vs ENG) in the year 2024. In the last T20 World Cup 2022, England defeated India by 10 wickets on the big stage of the semi-finals.

Will England be able to repeat that story this time or will Rohit Sharma settle his old scores? It will be very interesting to see this in itself. Let's take a look at England's possible playing-11 before this match. With which eleven players can English captain Jos Buttler take the field against India…?

IND vs ENG: India will have to be careful of Jos Buttler

  • England captain Jos Buttler has already inflicted a deep wound on the Indian team in the year 2022.
  • In the last World Cup 2022, England made it to the finals by defeating India in the semi-finals.
  • In that match, Captain Butler played an unbeaten match-winning innings of 80 runs. This time Rohit Sharma and company will have to be a little cautious of the English captain.
  • Indian fast bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Jasprit Bumrah will try their best to put pressure on England by dismissing openers Phil Salt and Jos Buttler as soon as possible.

This player can replace Bairstow in the middle order

  • The England captain can make one change in the middle order against India.
    He can take out right-handed batsman Johnny Bairstow and include Will Jacks, who plays with Virat Kohli for RCB.
  • Bairstow has disappointed the team with his performance so far. He has not been able to play any big innings.
  • Although he did score 48 runs against West Indies. But, his bat has remained silent against big teams.
  • In such a situation, Will Jacks can play a big role.
    Apart from these, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone will also have a big responsibility on their shoulders in the middle order.

Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali can become the scourge of Indian batsmen

  • The England team is looking good in bowling as well as batting. The semi-final match between India and England (IND vs ENG) will be held in Guyana.
  • The Guyana pitch proves to be effective for spin bowlers with the new ball. England has the best spinners in the form of Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali.
  • If there is movement on the pitch, then both these spinner bowlers can put Indian batsmen in trouble.
  • Both these spinners bowled lethally for USA.
    Apart from this, fast bowler Chris Jordan is in great form after taking a hat-trick.
  • Sam Curran's form has not been that good. But, Virat-Rohit find it difficult to play against left arm fast bowlers
  • In such a situation, Sam Curran will try his best to take full advantage of this weakness.

England's probable playing XI against India: Phil Salt, Jos Buttler (captain and wicketkeeper), Will Jacks, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Joffra Archer, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley.
