Captain looking forward to a noisy, full house in Adelaide on Thursday while Jos Buttler’s side may bring in Phil Salt for Dawid Malan
Rohit Sharma has warned England to expect a full house of India fans for Thursday’s T20 World Cup semi-final in Adelaide.
India clinched top spot in Group 2 after cruising to a 71-run victory over Zimbabwe at a packed Melbourne Cricket Ground. Pakistan, who were runners-up after beating Bangladesh and South Africa’s shock defeat by the Netherlands, will meet New Zealand in Wednesday’s semi-final in Sydney.
“England are a good team, and it will be a great contest,” said Sharma, India’s captain. “We should take pride in qualifying firstly, and if we play that semi-final well, we have another big game as well.
“The fans have been brilliant all this while, almost everywhere we have gone we’ve got a full house, and we expect the same in the semi-finals as well. On behalf of the team I’d really like to thank them.”
