"It's ICC's Headache": Rohit Sharma's Straight Talk On Scheduling Ahead Of T20 World Cup Semi-Final
Just like against Australia, India captain Rohit Sharma was on fire during the T20 World Cup semi-final press conference, ahead of the match against England at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. India and England eye a place in the final against South Africa, but there have been more talks regarding the weather and the pitch, rather than the actual match-ups between the two teams. England outplayed India at the same stage during the last edition of the T20 World Cup in Australia. On that night, England captain Jos Buttler and opener Alex Hales were too hot to handle for the Indian bowlers.
"Not Good Enough": After Afghanistan Coach, Australia Great Also Criticizes Trinidad's Pitch
Former Australia cricketer Tom Moody gave a huge thumbs-down to the pitch at the Brian Lara Cricket Stadium in Trinidad used for the first semi-final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 between South Africa and Afghanistan, saying the surface was not fit to host any cricket match. The pitch offered huge lateral movement for fast bowlers and also offered excessive inconsistent bounce, as some balls flew off the surface, while others stayed really low. Amidst challenging conditions, South Africa were at their fiery best to bowl out Afghanistan for just 56 and chased down the total in 8.5 overs to seal their spot in the final at Barbados on Sunday.
"Why Talk About Only Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli?" Kapil Dev's Honest Question Amid T20 World Cup
India's first World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev on Thursday said collective performance, not individual brilliance will be the key factor in deciding whether Rohit Sharma's team can end its over-a-decade-long trophy drought by winning the T20 World Cup in the West Indies. India will take on England in the tournament's semifinal later on Thursday, hoping to make the finals where South Africa are in waiting after annihilating Afghanistan. "Why talk about only Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, or Kuldeep Yadav? Everybody has a role to play. Their job is to win the tournament," Kapil told PTI Videos in an exclusive interview.

Will it rain or not? That has been the big question in the lead up to India's T20 World Cup semi-final clash against England at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. The rain has cast a shadow of uncertainty on the much-awaited clash, which will be a repeat of the last T20 World Cup semi-final which was played in Adelaide, Australia.
