Looking at this game on paper, can you pick a winner? What should the toss-winning captain choose to do at Adelaide? Runs on the board or chase with a chance of dew? Will India’s batsmen deliver beyond Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav, or will it be England who shake off some their own batting concerns?
These questions and more will be answered in what should be an Adelaide belter. Both sides are still below their best in some aspects of their game, but it’s now time to fire with a spot in Sunday’s T20 World Cup Final against Pakistan up for grabs.
England did what they needed to do against Sri Lanka, but the kind of performance they produced against New Zealand is what they’ll be after. Ben Stokes playing a key role in a T20I win is encouraging, with Jos Buttler’s team possessing a number of other quality players who can light up Adelaide. In saying that, so do India, in particular Suryakumar Yadav, whose statistics now extend beyond the ridiculous.
However, can India’s opening combination provide the sort of brisk start that can take the game away from England, and more importantly, limit the reliance on the Virat-Surya combination? And how well can India nail the finishing with bat and ball? The men in blue have not tasted success in an ICC tournament for nearly a decade now, so how they handle the pressure will be vital.
Of course, pressure is also on England, who are after an ODI-T20 World Cup double after revamping their white-ball game back in 2015. This has the makings of a cracking match, and it could come down to the very last few balls.
IND vs ENG Possible Playing XIs
India will have a call to make on their wicket-keeper. It is a toss up between Dinesh Karthik and Rishabh Pant.
Also, given the small square boundaries and England’s left-handers, will they look to play an extra seamer?
India: 1. Rohit Sharma (c), 2. KL Rahul, 3. Virat Kohli, 4. Suryakumar Yadav, 5. Hardik Pandya, 6. Dinesh Karthik/Rishabh Pant (wk), 7. R Ashwin, 8. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 9. Axar Patel/Harshal Patel, 10. Mohammed Shami, 11. Arshdeep Singh
Reports suggest that Phil Salt will replace Dawid Malan at number three, should the latter not recover in time from a groin strain. Also, ESPNcricinfo has reported that Mark Wood is set to be ruled out, with Chris Jordan to replace him. If it does happen, it will be a big blow for England.
England: 1. Jos Buttler (c & wk), 2. Alex Hales, 3. Phil Salt/Dawid Malan, 4. Ben Stokes, 5. Harry Brook, 6. Moeen Ali, 7. Liam Livingstone, 8. Sam Curran, 9. Chris Woakes, 10. Mark Wood/Chris Jordan, 11. Adil Rashid

- Will the out-of-form Rohit Sharma produce his best in the semi-final? In 13 innings against England, Rohit has scored 383 runs at an average of 34.82 and strike rate of 143.45.

Adelaide Oval Pitch Report and Weather
According to The Cricketer, this match will be played on the same pitch as the New Zealand-Ireland and Australia-Afghanistan matches last week. So, there may be temptation to bowl first with dew around, even though the teams batting first hit over 160 in those two matches. The forecast is for a clear evening (approx. 15-20 degrees) after a possible morning shower.
In this World Cup, the average first innings score in six games is 157. When the team batting first crossed 158, they won all four matches. Both seam (56 wickets, avg. 22.78, econ. 7.67) and spin (20 wickets, avg. 23.85, econ. 7.33) have similar numbers on this ground in this tournament.
Incredibly, in all 11 T20Is at Adelaide Oval to date, the team who won the toss went on to lose the game.
