With the match approaching, all eyes will be on Abhishek Sharma, who needs to find his form against the ‘Three Lions’. In six matches, he has scored only 80 runs, with a top score of 55.
Ishan Kishan, however, has been performing admirably, totaling 224 runs in seven games, even though he has recently been moved down to the number three batting position. Sanju Samson has stepped up to open alongside Abhishek.
The Indian team will also be counting on Axar Patel, who is expected to contribute both with the bat and the ball in this crucial semi-final.
