India would be eyeing their first T20 World Cup final since 2014 when they face England in the second semifinal. The Men in Blue have been among the most dominant sides going ahead into the semifinals as they have come up with imposing performances in almost all their group games. Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Arshdeep Singh and KL Rahul have been in good form and would want to continue in the same fashion.

Rohit Sharma have had a winning combination, that has worked in their favour in this competition with India losing the only game where they had made changes in their lineup. Ahead of the England game, there have been talks around making two changes.

In that case, the team management might decide to drop Axar Patel, something which would weaken the batting a bit. The fast bowling department is likely to be the same for this clash as well, with the likes of Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in it.
