The second semi-final of ICC T20 World Cup 2022 will be played between India and England in Adelaide tomorrow. Much like the ongoing first semi-final between New Zealand and Pakistan in Sydney, an India-England match will also be their fourth against each other in this format in 2022.

India, who have had a slight edge over England in T20Is, have won four out of their last five matches against them. Additionally, India also appear to have been the better team historically in terms of both playing at a neutral venue and in T20 World Cups.
In what is set to be the third India-England T20I at a neutral venue, it will also be their fourth encounter against each other in a World Cup. The last India-England T20I at a neutral venue and in a World Cup had been played 10 and six years ago respectively.

A commonality between both the teams is that their highest T20I wicket-takers against each other might not be taking part in the match on Thursday. With India captain Rohit Sharma and former captain Virat Kohli surviving respective injury scares, expect both the teams to not make many changes to a winning combination for a high-profile knockout match.
