The semi-final match of T20 World Cup 2022 between India and England will be played on 10 November. At one point in the group stage, it was difficult for the England team to reach the semi-finals. England suffered a five-run defeat against Ireland. Now before the match against India, England captain Jos Buttler has given a big statement.
Jos Butler gave this statement
Jos Buttler said, ‘We have won two matches before, so we are already used to the feeling of being in the knockouts. So we think we have gained some good confidence from those matches and everyone is really excited to play the matches. But if Buttler does well for England, he will have to overcome his animosity with the ball to senior India pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The right-arm fast bowler has dismissed Butler five times in T20 matches.
England has won the 2019 ODI World Cup
England are also looking to become the only team in international cricket to win two World Cup trophies at the same time. After winning the ODI World Cup at home in 2019, England were the favorites to win the 2021 T20 World Cup, only to lose in the semi-finals. Now this is his last chance to win the T20 World Cup before focusing on next year’s ODI World Cup in India.
Sri Lanka registered a spectacular win against
In Sydney, where they needed a win from Group 1 to make the semi-finals, their bowlers restricted Sri Lanka to a modest score. Despite an opening stand, Ben Stokes’ patient innings had to waver before England could win the match. Ahead of their semi-final clash against a formidable Indian team at the Adelaide Oval, Buttler felt that England were already prepared to play knockout cricket from the middle of their Super 12 phase, which would put them in good shape on Thursday.
