T20 World Cup 2022: Recent records slightly favour India ahead of clash against England

India and England are all set to face each other in the T20 World Cup 2022 semi-final on Thursday, November 10 at the Adelaide Oval.

India won four matches in the Super 12 and topped their group after beating Bangladesh, Pakistan, Netherlands and Zimbabwe.

Barring their loss to Temba Bavuma’s South Africa in Perth, the Men in Blue have looked clinical. Rohit Sharma’s men will go into the match after beating Zimbabwe by 71 runs.

Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav are among the leading run-scorers and are expected to pose a massive threat to the Three Lions.

England, led by Jos Buttler, on the other hand, managed to go through to the semis after beating Sri Lanka in their last Super 12 match.

The British team faced a five-run defeat at the hands of Andrew Balbirnie’s Ireland, but somehow managed to recover.

Let’s take a look at some of the major records created in India vs England T20Is in the last 2 years:
