England and India meet in the semi-final of a T20 World Cup for the third time in a row. On the previous two occasions, the winner has gone on to lift the trophy. Neither side has looked like the complete package so far, although England have exceeded pre-tournament expectations.

India entered as enormous favorites but had to dig themselves out of a hole against USA before getting thrashed by South Africa. However, they've found their rhythm since with thumping victories over Zimbabwe and the West Indies.

Varun Chakravarthy is their leading wicket-taker but he's taken punishment in some of the big games. Kuldeep Yadav, meanwhile, has an outstanding track record against England but has barely got a look-in at the tournament so far.

Eight of Jofra Archer's 10 wickets have come in the powerplay, which is where India crumbled against both USA and South Africa, but the Men in Blue have hit a tournament-leading 57 boundaries in the last four overs.
