England's bowlers have helped cover for their batting teammates' patchy Twenty20 World Cup and will now face their biggest test against the firepower of India in Thursday's semifinal.
The challenge may be even greater for Jos Buttler's team, with express paceman Mark Wood joining No 3 batsman Dawid Malan as an injury doubt for the clash at Adelaide Oval.
They may have their hands full against India's heavy hitters, though, with a rejuvenated Virat Kohli and the marauding Suryakumar Yadav in ominous form. Kohli may be jumping out of his skin to take strike in Adelaide, where he has scored five hundreds and three fifties across 14 innings in all formats.
“To be in a semifinal now and going into tournaments that we should perform well is a great place to be as a team.”
