Providence [Guyana], June 27 (ANI): It will be a battle of T20I titans as Men in Blue will be taking on England in the semifinals of the ongoing ICC <keyword id="19921630" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="T20-World-Cup" source="keywords">T20 World Cup</keyword> at Guyana on Thursday. The clash will witness Jos Buttler-led England aim for second successive T20 WC final, while Men in Blue will be aiming to avenge a brutal 10-wicket loss to the same opponent in the final four clash of 2022 tournament at Adelaide. Since that heartbreaking loss at Adelaide, India has made a lot of changes to their white-ball game, introducing a pleothra of young and more explosive talent like Rinku Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Ruturaj Gaikwad, etc leading upto the tournament. Though the Men in Blue decided to revert back to experienced campaigners skipper <keyword id="19899523" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rohit-Sharma" source="keywords">Rohit Sharma</keyword> and <keyword id="19907934" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Virat-Kohli" source="keywords">Virat Kohli</keyword> after an incredible, record-shattering 50-over World Cup in India, the explosiveness and risk-taking defining the modern T20 cricket still form the heart of India's approach. This was evident from the performances of these two legends in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, especially Virat, who turned into a six-hitting, spin-demolishing machine of the older days, abandoning his more conservative and measured approach to the short format. However, Virat has failed to translate his IPL form into an international arena, scoring just 66 runs in six games at an average of 11.00, with the best score of 37 and two ducks. Having scored the most runs in T20 Cup history, this campaign has put somewhat of a dent on his legacy as the best batter ever to grace the tournament. All would be forgiven, however, if Virat returned to his clutch ways in knockouts. Notably, Virat has smacked a half-century in every T20 World Cup knockout game, including 72* (2014 semifinal), 77 (2014 final), 89* (2016 semifinal) and 50 (2022 semifinal). Despite this poor run, England coach Matthew Mott is not taking Virat lightly. In the pre-match presser, he said about the star batter, "Virat has proven his class over a very long period of time and he is one of the players we have prepared well for. We know how he can play; we know how destructive he can be and we also know his game smarts. If the game demands an innings of a different nature, he has got that skill." On the other hand, skipper Rohit Sharma has shown much better form. In six matches of the tournament so far, Rohit has scored 191 runs at an average of 38.20, with a strike rate of 159.16 and two half-centuries. His best score is 92. The semifinal will be a battle of two high-octane opening pairs, India's 'Ro-Ko' pair against England's Buttler (191 runs in six innings) and Phil Salt (183 runs in six innings). This pair has managed to put up 286 runs together in six innings this tournament at an average of 57.20, with their best partnership being a 117-run effort. Salt himself has been in fantastic form ever since he posted two successive centuries against the West Indies in a T20I series last year, having a fantastic IPL campaign for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), scoring 435 runs in 12 games, including four fifties for the champions. In the last 12 T20Is, Salt has scored 507 runs in 11 innings at an average of 63.37 and a strike rate of over 182, with two tonnes and fifty. His best score is 119. The batter averages 52.2 and strikes at 180 in the West Indies, where he has gotten two centuries and two fifties in 14 innings with 574 runs. England will be in battle against two of the best pacers of this tournament, Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh. In six matches, Bumrah has taken 11 wickets so far in the tournament at an average of 8.54 and an economy rate of just above 4. His best bowling figures are 3/7. Arshdeep is the second-highest wicket-taker, with 15 scalps in six games at an average of 11.86 and best figures of 4/9. How Salt and Buttler survive their onslaught in powerplay will be crucial in deciding the course of the match. Men in Blue, on the other hand, have everything going right for them, except Virat's form maybe. Undefeated, they have registered comprehensive wins while chasing and defending alike and their campaign has been an incredible team effort. However, the pressure of playing in knockouts becomes a different kind of beast for India, who have fallen inches short of an ICC trophy nearly every year after a semifinal/final qualification. Rohit attributes India's recent knockout performances both to fear of failure and bad luck. "It is a bit of both. See, we want to treat this game as another game that we have played in this tournament. We don't want to think about what lies ahead, what the context of the game is, and all of that. Everyone knows in the back of their minds that it is a semi-final. But you don't want to keep talking about it again and again and again. And not to think about what has happened in the past. I think we, all of us, the entire group, are in a good frame of mind. We are playing well as a team, enjoying each other's company and each other's success at times as well. I think it's important to just carry on that, carry on from what we have been doing in this tournament," the India captain said in the pre-match press conference. Though the clash looks extremely promising, a <keyword id="21711086" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rain-threat" source="keywords">rain threat</keyword> looms over this 2022 T20 World Cup rematch. As per World Weather, it is currently partly cloudy and 24 degrees celsius in Georgetown, Guyana. At 9 AM local time, before the 10:30 AM start, light and patchy rain is likely to occur in Guyana. Light rains are forecast for every hour till 4 PM, after which the weather will remain partly cloudy for the remainder of the day. India has been allocated the Guyana semifinal due to match timings, as the 10:30 AM local time slot, as per Indian Standard Time, is a much more TV-friendly slot of 8 PM. The final, to be held in Bridgetown, Barbados, on June 29, will take place at 10 AM local time, and happen at 7:30 PM in India, as per ESPNCricinfo. There will be no reserve day for the second semifinal. However, an extra 250 minutes worth of time will be given to the match. This extra time has been added since the tournament schedule does not allow for a reserve day. If reserve day was given for semifinal two, it would have meant just a day's worth of gap for recovery and practice between that game and the final. The second semifinal could be in for a tight squeeze if persistent rain takes place because, as per rules, a result can only be decided if both teams bat for at least 10 overs. In the majority of T20 games, the teams batting second are supposed to bat for at least five overs in order to achieve a result. This system was in place for the majority of the ICC T20 World Cup matches. But in the knockout games though, teams batting second will have to face at least 10 overs in order to decide on a result as per the Duckworth-Lewis method. This was also the case for the knockout games in the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia. As per an ICC spokesperson, overs will be reduced only from 2:40 PM, which is 250 minutes after the scheduled start of 10:30 am. For a 10-over match, the game will have to start at 4:14 PM local time, the spokesperson added, as per ESPNCricinfo. If the game is not completed and is washed out due to rain, Men in Blue will move to the finals due to them topping the Super Eights group, as compared to England's second-place finish in Group two.

India vs England: Major talking points ahead of the crucial T20 World Cup semi-final clash

New Delhi, <keyword id="13937" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rohit-sharma" source="Orion">Rohit Sharma</keyword>'s request to the BCCI for a break from white-ball cricket in South Africa despite being offered T20 captaincy has been accepted, while Jasprit Bumrah has been named his deputy for the two Tests starting December 26. <keyword id="6354486" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Virat-Kohli" source="Orion">Virat Kohli</keyword>'s request for a break from limited-overs games too has been accepted as <keyword id="496245" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="suryakumar-yadav" source="Orion">Suryakumar Yadav</keyword> and <keyword id="6355454" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="kl-rahul" source="Orion">KL Rahul</keyword> will lead the national team in T20Is and ODIs respectively. However, it is understood that Hardik Pandya is no longer an automatic choice for T20 captaincy in the T20 World Cup next year if Rohit decides to play the <keyword id="2293366" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shortest-Format" source="Orion">shortest format</keyword>. "Rohit has been offered T20 captaincy but he is in UK on a holiday and wants an extended break after four months of gruelling season till end of the World Cup. But as captain, he has the highest respect for the dressing room and if he agrees to lead India in T20 World Cup, he will lead," a BCCI source told PTI on condition of anonymity. After the T20 World Cup in 2022, Rohit had actually been reluctant to play the shortest format as he focused on 50-over cricket. Interestingly, most of the players selected for ODIs don't feature either in Tests or T20Is. Only three players have been selected in all three squads -- Shreyas Iyer, Mukesh Kumar and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Axar Patel has been dropped from the T20 squad and Ravindra Jadeja is the new T20 vice-captain for the series. KL Rahul set to keep wickets =================== The national selection committee, on expected lines, has not included Kona Bharat in the Test squad as KL Rahul will now don the big gloves in the Test matches. Rahul as keeper also opens two middle-order slots -- for Shreyas Iyer and reserve batter Gaikwad -- in the Test lineup. It is understood that Mohammed Shami has a chance to get fit before the Test series starts late in December. "Shami's injury isn't very serious at the moment and hence he has been kept in the squad. Prasidh Krishna has been kept as his cover just in case. End of road for Rahane, Pujara, Umesh ========================= Ajinkya Rahane, who scored 89 in the World Test Championship final, has probably played his last Test along with Chesteshwar Pujara. "The two slots that Rahane and Pujara had now belong to Rahul and Iyer. Also, Gill will bat in the middle order and Yashashvi will get a long rope," the source added. Pacer Umesh Yadav has also played his last Test. New-look ODI squad =============== ODI is the least important format right now but looking at the 2025 Champions Trophy, a new-look squad under Rahul will play the 50-over games. Rajat Patidar, B Sai Sudharshan and Rinku Singh, all with fantastic List A records, are in the ODI squad and will form the nucleus of the next 50-over team. Kuldeep Yadav, who couldn't be accommodated in the Test squad, is there in both the white-ball squads. Yuzvendra Chahal, who missed the World Cup, is now back in the 50-over format while Ravi Bishnoi is in the T20 squad. Squads: Tests: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan (wk), KL Rahul (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah (vc), Prasidh Krishna. T20Is: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Rinku Singh, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan (wk), Jitesh Sharma (wk), Ravindra Jadeja (vc), Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Mohd. Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Deepak Chahar. ODIs: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sai Sudharsan, Tilak Varma, Rajat Patidar, Rinku Singh, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (c, wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mukesh Kumar, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Deepak Chahar.

Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar joins the NFT party with Rario partnership

Their three-game winning streak snapped after a loss to Punjab Kings, five-time champions Mumbai Indians will look to address their poor death over bowling when they take on a resurgent Gujarat Titans in their IPL match here on Tuesday. After a familiar poor start, MI enjoyed a hat-trick of wins but their impressive run was cut short by Punjab Kings with a 13-run win on Saturday. Mumbai were let down by their death over bowling as they conceded 96 runs in the final five overs to allow PBKS post 214 for 8, and they will have to sort out their bowling ahead of the GT clash. It was the pace quartet of Arjun Tendulkar, Jason Behrendorff, Cameron Green and Jofra Archer who were put under the pump as all of them conceded more than 40 runs in their quota of overs. The experienced Piyush Chawla and his spin bowling colleague Hrithik Shokeen, however, have been on the money as they restricted the flow of runs, with the former snapping two wickets as well. MI's batting unit has looked formidable with the top and middle order being among runs. While Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan have given a good start to the team on most occasions, Suryakumar Yadav's return to form is a big positive for MI, who have been served well by the overseas duo of Cameron Green and Tim David. In fact, Green and Suryakumar had almost won them the match against Punjab Kings with a 36-ball 75-run stand before being done in by Arshdeep Singh's magical overs at the death. Things are not going to be any easier for the MI batters as the Titans too possess a strong bowling attack. Criticised for not being able to defend totals this season, GT showed how to do it with a master class at the death overs to strangle Lucknow Super Giants' chase in their previous match. The star of GT bowling was comeback man Mohit Sharma, who walked away with the player of the match award after using his variations to telling effect against the Lucknow side. GT were in a dire situation with LSG cruising at 105 for 1 in 14 overs while chasing 136 but the bowlers, led by Mohit, denied them as he defended 12 runs in the final over. While Mohit has been a revelation, veteran Mohammed Shami too has been among the wickets. However, skipper Hardik Pandya hasn't really fired with the ball, having picked up only one wicket so far. Led by Rashid Khan, Gujarat's spin department looks potent with fellow Afghan wrist spinner Noor Ahmad and Jayant Thakur delivering under pressure against LSG. If Jayant conceded just seven in his last two overs, Noor took two wickets for just five runs in his final two overs to set up the win for GT the other day. GT batters have chased down totals but they have been sometimes guilty of not being able to push the score in middle overs. While <keyword id="6355643" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="wriddhiman-saha" source="Orion">Wriddhiman Saha</keyword> and Shubman Gill have scored runs at the top and Hardik top-scored in their last match, GT were about 10-15 runs short against LSG, mainly due to their slow batting in middle overs, something the team will need to address. Also, GT might need to give their top overseas batter David Miller more time in the middle by promoting him up the order.

Mumbai Indians look to sort bowling woes in clash against Gujarat Titans

After rain caused the first T20I between <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword> and <keyword id="22501" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="new-zealand" source="Orion">New Zealand</keyword> at Sky Stadium to be washed out, it may again play a spoilsport when the two teams will be playing in the second match at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Sunday. Though New Zealand skipper <keyword id="269650" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="kane-williamson" source="Orion">Kane Williamson</keyword> was hopeful of sunshine coming in Sunday's sell-out match at his hometown, that may not be the case. With rain predicted for all day and precipitation levels between 40-97 per cent, there is a possibility of rain again halting India and New Zealand's quest for rebuilding their T20I sides. One would be hoping that <keyword id="3142448" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="rishabh-pant" source="Orion">Rishabh Pant</keyword> gets a decent run as an opener against New Zealand. Pant, who burst on the scene with blistering performances in IPL 2016 just after catching everyone's eye with his exploits in U19 World Cup earlier that year in Bangladesh, was largely in and out of initial playing eleven from Asia Cup till the Men's T20 World Cup as India preferred finishing touches of Dinesh Karthik. But now with Karthik not in the squad for this series, one could see Pant opening the batting as India search for batters who can given them a flying start in power-play. But with <keyword id="2064892" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="ishan-kishan" source="Orion">Ishan Kishan</keyword> and <keyword id="6362888" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="shubman-gill" source="Orion">Shubman Gill</keyword>, uncapped in the T20I format, as the obvious looking opening options, it should be interesting to see the role clarity which India will give to left-handed Pant, who hasn't cracked the T20I code yet, as compared to Tests and ODIs. Hardik Pandya will be itching to show his leadership skills as the clamour grows for him to be made India's T20I captain till 2024 T20 World Cup, in a bid to change the side's fortunes in the format. His New Zealand counterpart, <keyword id="58375" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="williamson" source="Orion">Williamson</keyword>, will be keen to improve his strike-rate and usefulness in the shortest format of the game. Traditionally, Bay Oval has been a high-scoring ground for T20Is. All of this can happen in front of a sold-out crowd provided the rain stays away for cricket to happen.

Hales hit 86 not out off 47 balls while <keyword id="2299781" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="buttler" source="Orion">Buttler</keyword> smacked an unbeaten 80 off 49 balls to chase down 168/6 by India in style with four overs remaining. With a dominating win, England will now face Pakistan in the final of the tournament at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday, 30 years after the two teams met in the 1992 ODI World Cup final at the very same venue. India was off their lengths and did not offer any challenge to the opening pair of Hales and Buttler, who put them under pressure from the word go. Moreover, they were more than sloppy in the field, thus being comprehensively outplayed and hammered by England in all departments of the game. In the chase of 169, Buttler knew that Bhuvneshwar Kumar was going to be his biggest threat in the opening over. To counter the pacer, he walked down and moved across to let his hands do the talking by taking three fours in the opening over. Buttler would take a brace of fours off Arshdeep Singh and Axar Patel through the off-side while Hales hammered a six over cover off Bhuvneshwar as England matched India's power-play total in just 3.2 overs. Hales was the more aggressive of the two, thumping Mohammed Shami over mid-off for six and got an outer edge running past the keeper for four. Axar came under more attack as Hales and Buttler hit him for a six and four respectively to sign off from the power-play unscathed. Post-power-play, Hales stepped up the attack against Indian spinners - sweeping <keyword id="200030" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ravichandran-ashwin" source="Orion">Ravichandran Ashwin</keyword> for six and rocked back to hammer Axar over deep mid-wicket for another maximum to get his fifty by the end of the eighth over. Hales then brought up the century of the opening stand by pulling Hardik Pandya for a six over deep mid-wicket and followed it up with another six by slog-sweeping off Ashwin. Buttler ramped Pandya over fine leg for four and got his fifty with a pulled six over deep square leg. Buttler then hit Shami for two fours and a six in the 14th over, where he also got a reprieve as the mid-off failed to take the catch and parried the ball to the boundary rope. Fittingly, Buttler finished off the innings in style by dispatching Shami over long-on for a majestic six to enter the final. Brief Scores: India 168/6 in 20 overs (Hardik Pandya 63, Virat Kohli 50; Chris Jordan 3/43, Adil Rashid 1/20) lost to England 170/0 in 16 overs (Alex Hales 86 not out, Jos Buttler 80 not out) by ten wickets SEE ALSO: <a target="_blank" class="c-link c-message_attachment__title_link" href="https://www.businessinsider.in/sports/news/ahead-of-indias-semifinal-heres-how-the-men-in-blue-have-performed-against-england-in-t20/slidelist/95417123.cms">Ahead of India’s semifinal, here’s how Men in Blue have performed against England in T20</a> <a target="_blank" class="c-link c-message_attachment__title_link" href="https://www.businessinsider.in/science/health/news/youre-eating-fats-and-carbs-because-your-body-wants-protein/articleshow/95418167.cms">You're eating fats and carbs because your body wants protein</a>
