India and defending champions England will be facing each other in a mouth-watering second semifinal of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. The game is scheduled to be played on Thursday (June 27) at the Providence Stadium, Guyana.

The winner of the highly-anticipated match will take on South Africa in the final on Saturday (June 29). Earlier in the day, South Africa thrashed Afghanistan by nine wickets to qualify for the final of a World Cup for the very first time in their history. The focus is now firmly fixed on the mega clash between India and England.

This is the first meeting between the two teams in the T20 World Cup since the semifinal clash between them in the last edition of the tournament. Two years ago, England had inflicted a humiliating 10-wicket defeat on India to make it to the final before going on to win the World Cup. It is also the last meeting between the two teams in T20Is.

The situation is a bit different in the ongoing edition as India have looked almost unbeatable while England have struggled for consistency. While India have won all the six games that they have played so far, England have suffered defeats against Australia and South Africa. Form and momentum usually take the back seat in a big game like the semifinal of a World Cup and one can expect a cracking game between India and England.

IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction Today:

Captaincy picks:

Rohit Sharma:

Rohit Sharma is coming into this game after a stunning knock against Australia in the previous game. The India skipper came up with one of the best knocks by an Indian in the T20 World Cup as he smashed 92 runs from just 41 balls to lead his team to a win over Australia. He will be looking to deliver in the upcoming game as well.

Jos Buttler:

Just like the India captain, the England captain is in good form as well at the moment. In the last game against USA, Jos Buttler scored a whirlwind fifty against USA to confirm a semifinal spot for his side. Buttler scored an unbeaten 83 from just 38 balls. With form on his side, Buttler will be looking to lead from the front again.

Top picks:

Hardik Pandya:

Hardik Pandya has performed well consistently with the bat and ball in the ongoing T20 World Cup. Pandya had also scored a fighting fifty against England in the semifinal of the previous T20 World Cup and will be eyeing another impact outing.

Phil Salt:

Phil Salt has looked in good touch in the T20 World Cup. The right-handed batsman has the potential to blow away any team on his day and he won’t get bigger games than a World Cup semifinal to make an impact.
