England should be confident for T20 World Cup semi-final – they have shown over a period of time they are the better white-ball team
A lot of England supporters will be saying “we don’t want to play India”. But actually it should be India worried about playing England.
That is how good they have become. England have proved over a period of time they are a better white-ball team than India so confidence should not be a problem.
In white-ball cricket they rarely let themselves down. The only reason we say India are favourites is because of the partisan crowd expected in Adelaide. But if it was an empty stadium you would say England are favourites because they have better white ball pedigree.
Also you have to remember the crowd can add pressure on the India side. It will be 95 per cent India support and England generally love those atmospheres. They have played brilliantly in white-ball cricket over a number of years because they have learned how to play pressure and silence a crowd.
