It starts our blog with a preview of England
England has been a bit subdued in the T20 World Cup so far. Rain washed out one of its important games against Australia and the loss to Ireland raised some questions. Now, against India, England will need to be at its best. News emerging from the English camp suggests that Dawid Malan is not fit for time for the match against India.
That means England could add Phil Salt to its lineup, an excellent attacking option that could bat at three or England could add Tymal Mills to their lineup. Mills has a great record in Australia, bowls the hard lengths, and England still has plenty of batting options to cover the loss of Malan.
Either way, though, it is not ideal that England will be without one of its best batters in a World Cup semi-final.
The list of match winners in the English lineup is not small. Jos Buttler, Alex Hales (both in good form), Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone (enforcers with the bat and blow), and Mark Wood (fastest bowler in the tournament) can all turn the match on its head.
The problem for England has been finding a way to use its resources optimally. An early wicket or two could send flutters down the English lineup. We are also not too sure about Jos Buttler's leadership. He frequently makes some daft choices.
Preview of India
Kohli, who turned 34 at the weekend, has amassed 246 runs in five innings including three match-winning unbeaten half-centuries to give him a staggering tournament average of 123.
Yadav, nicknamed 'SKY', is not far behind with 225 runs at an average of 75 with his arsenal of pyrotechnics including sweeps and scoop shots that keep the bowlers guessing.
"The way Surya is batting is wonderful. It's free-spirited, free will, he is at that stage of his career," spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said after his team's 71-run hammering of Zimbabwe in their last Super 12 match on Sunday.
"He is no spring chicken but still pretty early in his international cricket. With the way he is playing, he is complimenting a lot of other batters in the team."
Yadav blasted an unbeaten 61 off 25 balls at the MCG against Zimbabwe as India topped Group 2 after winning four of their five matches.
India's bowling attack has stepped up after leading pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah failed to make the plane to Australia because of injury.
Young left-arm quick bowler Arshdeep Singh has taken 10 wickets, the same amount as Curran, and the 23-year-old has formed a potent seam attack with the experienced Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami.
"If Bhuvi and Arshdeep can get the ball to swing a little bit more, then Adelaide can become an even spicier contest from India's point of view," said Ashwin.
It has been a wide-open World Cup with pitches across Australia offering a range of challenges and plenty of shocking results.
"If it's slow we'll play according to those situations," said coach Rahul Dravid, who said India would not finalize their team until assessing the wicket.
"If we think it might play differently, then we'll have to put up a squad to match that."
