Sydney, Mar 4:
Firm title contenders after a sensational unbeaten run in the group stages, India will have to ensure a solid all-round performance to get the better of formidable England in the semifinals of the ICC women’s T20 World Cup here tomorrow.
India have been the best side so far and they would be seeking their maiden final appearance in the showpiece’s history with a win over England on Thursday.
In the earlier seven editions, India have never reached the final but this time, they have emerged as serious title contenders after a string of superlative performances.
They began with a win over defending champions Australia and since then have gathered strength with every match, beating Bangladesh, New Zealand and Sri Lanka to top group A with eight points from four matches.
The Indians are in red-hot form, but history favours England as they have won all the five matches played between the two sides in this tournament. (PTI)
