INDIA
India topped Group 2 with their only defeat coming against South Africa. The big match for them came upfront when they edged Pakistan having looked dead and buried at one point. Their wins over the Netherlands, Bangladesh and finally Zimbabwe on Sunday were comfortable.
Against Zimbabwe India won the toss and chose to bat, scoring 186 for 5 with Yadav getting an unbeaten 61 off just 25 balls and Rahul weighing in with 51 off 35, a welcome return to form for him.
Zimbabwe were then bowled out for 115 in the 18th over and Ashwin was the pick of the bowlers with 3 for 22 off 4 and Shami and Pandya both got 2 wickets.
ENGLAND
England came 2nd in their Group behind New Zealand and they needed to beat Sri Lanka in their final match to book their spot in the last 4.
Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat and after a fast start England managed to restrict Sri Lanka to 141 for 8 in 20 overs. Mark Wood once again impressive with his 3 for 26 off 3 overs. England then chased the runs down with 2 balls and 4 wickets in hand with Alex Hales leading the charge with 47 from 30 and Ben Stokes with 42 from 36.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
These sides have met 22 times in T20 cricket with India winning 12 and England 10.

India 17/20
England 1/1
Suggested Bet: India win at 17/20
India have been my pick to win this Tournament from the start and aside from that slip up against South Africa they have looked absolutely superb. England are well suited to this format and their positive attitude tends to pay off, but I just feel they are lacking in a couple of areas that India can expose.
Suggested Bet: India Top Bowler Arshdeep Singh at 22/10
He has had an incredible World Cup and I am expecting him to lead the Indian attack in style.
Suggested Bet: England Top Bowler, Mark Wood at 2/1
Wood has also been superb and his pace can certainly trouble the Indian batsmen. I am backing him to be amongst the wickets yet again.
