Just three games are left in the 2022 T20 World Cup and from here on, there’s no margin for error. One small mistake on the day and everything you’ve been preparing for will go down the drain because it’s the knockout phase of the tournament now. India has had a great tournament so far, ending as the only team in the Super 12s stage to get 4 wins (from 5 games) and barring that loss against South Africa, they’ve been clinical.
They’re up against a familiar foe in England and let’s be honest, the latter was one of the teams to beat at the start of the tournament but they haven’t been up to their mark so far. They came very close in low scoring games against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka and they’ve shown a clear weakness to play the spin in this competition so far.

India
There’s a slight injury scare for captain Rohit Sharma after he was hit on the arm in the nets prior to the semi final but either way, we won’t be picking him in our IND vs ENG fantasy team today. With scores of 90* and 64* in his two games at this ground, Virat Kohli is yet to be dismissed here and with 3 fifties in 5 games at the 2022 T20 World Cup, he’s in good form as well. Suryakumar Yadav is also in form with 200+ runs in the tournament but KL Rahul’s two consecutive fifties will make him a hot pick as well.
Surya also scored his only T20I century against England this year, so watch out for him. India’s weakness in this tournament has been against good pace attacks and they’ll have to beware of the same here. Axar Patel may be a good pick for your IND vs ENG Dream11 team because he’s got a good record against spin and the top wicket-taker here in T20Is is Adam Zampa with 8 scalps in 3 games. With two 2-fers in 2 games here, watch out for Hardik Pandya as well today.
England
Fortunes could change for Adil Rashid today who had three wicketless games before picking up one in his last game. The good assistance for spinners here is another added confidence boost while India’s struggles (especially Kohli) against leg spin is another sign. Similarly, we think Liam Livingstone may be thrown the ball to bowl some leggies, so he’s going to be a main player in our fantasy team for this Semi Final 2.

Another worrisome factor for England is Ben Stokes’ poor form so far but if we know anything about him, it’s that he steps up in crucial moments and big games. The fact that he’s opening the bowling means chances to get additional fantasy points too, so don’t leave him out. Dawid Malan’s fitness may be a matter of concern but at the top, we’d rather pick Jos Buttler in our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) IND vs ENG fantasy team who is experienced playing India and Indian bowlers from the IPL.
