T20 World Cup 2024: Is India favorites against England in the Semifinal Round?

The ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 has reached towards its penultimate end, where four semifinalist including the likes of India & England along with Afghanistan and South Africa will face each other in the night of semifinal.

The winner of this contest will meet each other in the final on 29th June 2024.

India looks firm favorites to bring back trophy home, ideally the same situation happened in 2023 World Cup where Men in Blue won all the matches barring the final where they lost against Australia.

India certainly took revenge of the defeat against Australia in Super 8 round of T20 World Cup due to brilliant batsman- ship from Rohit Sharma.

Eventually, Australia have failed to qualify for the semifinal round and credit for this massive transformation should also be given to ace bowler Jasprit Bumrah and Spinner Kuldeep Yadav who are life of batter hell out there.

Indian Cricket Team, needs to win this time as they have failed to win ICC trophy from last 11 years as the last time they won Champions Trophy in 2013 where India managed to beat England via DLS Method due to brilliant captaincy from MS Dhoni.

When it comes to match ups between, India and England considering spin track, and chances of rain and comparing bowlers of both sides, Men in Blue looks favorite over England.

The smart captaincy from Rohit Sharma with the way he has done all bowling changes so far is second to none.

You must not forget the contribution from Virat Kohli will be crucial for Team India as he has scored only 66 runs from 6 matches he has played in T20 World Cup 2024 with 11.00 average and strike rate close to 100% which certainly not justifies his standard.

It would be interesting to see whether he will come in the Opening slot or whether he will choose bat after the fall of first wicket only time will tell.
