Team India is now only two steps away from the T20 World Cup 2024 trophy. However, before that it will have to overcome a big challenge like England. Like 2022, once again both the teams are face to face in the semi-final match. Rohit Sharma's team would not have forgotten that defeat by 10 wickets in Adelaide.

This time in Guyana, they would definitely want to take revenge for that crushing defeat. The last time the two teams clashed, some veteran players of both the teams were not in the team. This time they have made a comeback and hence a tough battle is expected between these stalwart players in the semi-finals.

Rohit-Virat vs Archer-Wood

Rohit Sharma is not called a big match player for nothing. He had adopted a dangerous form in the crucial match against Australia. He had put pressure on Australia by thrashing Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins in the powerplay itself.

He had scored 92 runs in just 41 balls. On the other hand, Virat Kohli is called the king of big matches. Although, he has been a flop till now but he is expected to perform well in this do or die match. On the other hand, two most dangerous fast bowlers like Jofra Archer and Mark Wood have entered the England team. Both are famous for their pace and can become a big challenge for the Indian opening pair.

Surya-Shivam Dubey vs Rashid-Moeen Ali

This time the Indian team has given importance to the players with X factor and those who play attacking cricket.

Suryakumar Yadav plays spin very well and has proved to be very effective in the middle overs so far. He has returned to his old rhythm since coming to West Indies. After Afghanistan, he played a brilliant innings against Australia. Shivam Dubey is famous for sending the ball of spinners outside the boundary, but this time both of them will face England's successful bowler Rashid Khan. Rashid Khan is known for taking wickets in the middle overs. At the same time, Moeen Ali can also become a challenge. In such a situation, a tough battle will be seen between these four in the middle overs.

Butler-Salt vs Bumrah-Arshdeep

England has performed brilliantly not only in bowling but also in batting in this T20 World Cup. Both England openers Phil Salt and captain Jos Butler have created havoc with their bats. Both players have become a nightmare for the bowlers. Butler has scored 191 runs at a strike rate of 159. However, this time he is going to face in-form Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh. Arshdeep Singh has taken 15 wickets in this World Cup, while Bumrah has kept the batsmen in check with his accurate bowling. He has given runs at an economy of 3.4.

Bairstow-Brook vs Kuldeep-Axar

Kuldeep Yadav was not in the Indian team in the 2022 T20 World Cup, who is known for breaking partnerships in the middle overs. He had also shown a sample of this against Australia. At the same time, Akshar Patel had turned the match around by bowling tight. Both these bowlers will now have to face Jonny Bairstow and Harry Brook, who attack in the middle overs for England.
