Ahead of the World Cup semi-final outside the Wankhede Stadium, Chaudhary blew a conch shell to extend his best wishes to Team India. He said," Ye shankh nahi, ye hai jung-e-elan. Team India sabse mahan. There is a young brigade in Team India. So, I hope that if Team India scores 250 plus, and registers an easy win."
England win the toss and elect to bowl first
Harry Brook, the English skipper, won the toss and decided to bowl first at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The dew factor will play an important role in the match, and the toss could play a crucial role.
Suryakumar Yadav will be quietly confident given Team India's recent form at the Wankhede Stadium. India are unbeaten in their last 5 outings at Mumbai's iconic stadium, including a win against the USA in the opening game of the tournament.
England made one change to their team with Jamie Overton coming in, in place of Rehan Ahmed, while India named an unchanged team for the semi-final.
Teams:
India: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah
