ICC Women's World T20: India vs England, Semifinal: Preview, when and where to watch, key stats

Preview of India vs England semifinal match - India vs England

India face England in the ICC Womens World T20 semis

North Sound, November 22: India will take on England in the semifinals of the ICC Women's World T20 here on Friday (November 23). India had beaten England earlier in a warm-up game ahead of the tournament and that will be a boost to the Indians.

India has also looked an unstoppable force in the tournament with their batswomen and bowlers dishing out a concerted effort. Here's MyKhel preview of the India vs England semifinal match.

India seem to have shed their skin in the last six months. Doubts about their chances in this competition arose when they lost twice to Bangladesh in the Asia Cup, but since then they have found a winning habit and formula, one with a heavy dose of spin. Under the new coach Ramesh Powar, they have now won eight T20Is in a row - their best ever run - and carry critical momentum into the game, having just beaten Australia. Their biggest worry, perhaps, will be the law of average.

England were unchallenged and their middle-order undercooked going into their last group match, but that changed as they were beaten in a thriller by the Windies. They have bet heavily on their spinners in this tournament, but it has been their pace bowlers who have won them critical moments in the group games, in conducive conditions in St Lucia. The challenge now for Heather Knight's side will be to replicate that at a different venue, against opposition who play spin well. And England too need to play Indian spinners well.

"I think it plays a huge impact on our team and I think we look forward to it, but are not carried away by it, and we will try to do even better in the semifinals," Jemimah Rodrigues

"To have a tight game like that and to see how we fought, how we stayed in the game, how we scrapped, that's what the team is about," said Heather Knight. "And that's all I can ask for the girls. It's really pleasing obviously, going into the semi-final."
