T20 World Cup 2022: IND vs ENG Preview
India
Although Team India topped their group, one can’t argue that they are yet to play their best cricket in the tournament. The majority of runs have come from Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav. Other batters need to step up before it’s too late. The recent form of KL Rahul is a big positive, however Rohit Sharma is yet to find his rhyme.
The bowlers are doing somewhat well enough in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. The emergence of Arshdeep Singh has made things easier for the Men in Blue. But the Indian team, who are known for possessing world class spinners, are yet to live up to the expectations.
England
England fought their way to make place in the semifinals. Jos Buttler‘s side are pretty balanced with all areas covered. With multiple quality all-rounders, they have unmatchable batting depth and bowling options. However, their camp is suffering from injury woes.
Dawid Malan is likely to miss the clash due to a groin injury. Mark Wood will also undergo a medical test to find out his availability. But that shouldn’t be a big issue for the Lions as they have strong bench strength. Any other names can come up to fill the positions.

Weather Report
The chances of rainfall on Thursday are just 8-18%, with humidity between 73-82%. The temperature will be between 13-22 degrees Celsius.
Pitch Report
Unlike other Australian pitches, batting on the Adelaide pitches is a bit tough. The ball grips, hence, spinners come into play. The ball doesn’t come off well on the bat in the second batting. So the winning captain will be looking to defend the total.
