IND VS ENG: Formula for victory in Guyana, Team India just has to do this in the semi-finals

Statistics now play a very important role in cricket. Many teams use it to make strategies against their opponents in big matches. India and England are also going to play a big match on 27 June. Both the teams are going to clash in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup to be held in Guyana. Before this important match, some statistics related to the current tournament and the ground have come to light.

If Indian captain Rohit Sharma makes a strategy using them, then it may be easy to defeat England.

Success comes in batting first

Toss is very important in cricket, because the captain chooses batting or bowling according to the pitch and weather. There is already a possibility of rain in Guyana, so toss will be a big factor. A total of 5 matches have been played in this T20 World Cup. In this, the teams batting first have won 3 matches, while chasing won 2 matches. Apart from this, in the day T20 matches held since 2022, 5 out of 9 wins have been achieved while batting first, while the chasing team has won 4 times.

That is, chasing is difficult here. If Rohit Sharma wins the toss, he should bat first.

Spinners are the biggest weapon

Spinners dominate the pitch of Guyana. In the T20 matches held here since 2022, spinners have taken a total of 162 wickets, in which wrist spinners have taken 40 wickets and finger spinners have taken 122 wickets. During this period, the economy of wrist spinners was 6.7 and that of finger spinners was 7. In such a situation, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja can prove to be the biggest weapons for Team India.

Predictions for a low-scoring match

During the World Cup matches on Guyana's ground, runs were scored at an average of only 6.4 in the powerplay. In the middle overs, this average drops to 5.5, while in the death overs also runs were scored at an average of only 7.6. During this period, the average score of the first innings was 146. At the same time, the average runs scored per over was 6.20.

Whereas in the T20 matches played since 2022, only 7.3 runs have been scored per over in the powerplay and middle overs, while in the last five overs, 11 runs were scored per over.

Looking at these figures, it can be guessed that a low-scoring match can be seen in the semi-finals. That is, if Team India scores around 160, then England may face difficulties in chasing.
