Rohit Sharma scored 27 off 28 balls. The Indian captain was not at his best in the semifinal which put extra pressure on their batting line.
At the end of the first ten overs, India had only 62 on their board losing two wickets. But in the last 10 overs, they scored 106 runs losing four more wickets.
Hardik Pandya came to bat before Rishabh Pant and posted 63 off just 33 balls with four fours and five sixes. Hardik was dismissed only in the last ball of the innings, but before that, he was the man danger for the English bowling lineup.

Chris was the best bowler for them, though, he conceded more than 40 runs but bagged three wickets as well.
To win this match, England have to make a record of the highest second innings total in Adelaide in T20Is. The highest second-inning total in this venue is 164 for seven scored by Afghanistan against Australia in 2022 while the highest successful second-inning total is 158 by England against Australia in 2011.
So to march to the final, England will have to work really hard.

Arshdeep Singh has been, though surprisingly, leading the Indian bowling line taking 10 wickets in the World Cup so far.
In contrast, England are slightly behind India in terms of form in this edition of the T20 World Cup. But when it comes to white-ball cricket, England are always a dangerous team.
Under the leadership of Jos Buttler, they play an ultra-aggressive brand of cricket. But in this World Cup, they have been doing very well in the death over bowling. If they can continue with that in the semi as well, they might get a place in the final of Sunday.
Pakistan have already booked a place in the final beating New Zealand in the first semifinal in Sydney.

That historic win of the Netherlands transformed the Super 12 clash between Bangladesh and Pakistan into a virtual quarter-final in which Pakistan defeated the Bangladesh team, and progressed to the semi-final.
Now, the South Asian giants are eager to pass the New Zealand challenge to advance to the final of T20 World Cup 2022.
The semi-final came as a golden chance for New Zealand as well. Who have played three World Cup finals before and failed to win any of them. Now, once again, they are upbeat to book a final berth and clinch the title.

The qualifying teams and lineups for the semifinals were confirmed on Sunday, bringing an end to the Super 12 Round of the ongoing cricket world cup. Let’s have a look at the fixtures, venues, head-to-head records, and probable team lineups for the T20 World Cup 2022 semifinals.
Which teams have qualified for the Twenty20 World Cup 2022 semifinals?
Twelve teams were divided into two groups in the Super 12s for a berth in the semifinals. Australia, New Zealand, England, Sri Lanka, Ireland, and Afghanistan played against each other in Group 1. New Zealand and England finished first and second in Group 1 with 7 points each and advanced to the semifinals. New Zealand topped the group thanks to better run rates.

On the other hand, India, Pakistan, South Africa, the Netherlands, Bangladesh, and Zimbabwe competed against each other in Group 2. India finished top of the group with 8 points after winning four matches. Pakistan came out second in the group after overcoming Bangladesh in a do-or-die contest on Sunday in Adelaide. Therefore, both Asian giants will be playing in the semifinals.
ICC Twenty20 World Cup 2022: Semifinals lineups and fixtures
The Group 1 winner, New Zealand, will take on the Group 2 runner-up, Pakistan, in the first semifinal. Oppositely, the Group 2 winner, India, will take on the Group 1 runner-up, England, in the second semifinal.
Fixtures
Semifinal 1: November 9 | Match: New Zealand vs Pakistan | Venue: SCG | Time: 2 p.m. (BST)Semifinal 2: November 10 | Match: India vs England | Venue: Adelaide Oval | Time: 2 p.m. (BST)
Pakistan vs New Zealand: Head-to-head record
28 Twenty20 internationals have been played between Pakistan and New Zealand. With 17 victories, Pakistan have dominated the head-to-head battle. On the other hand, New Zealand have 11 triumphs. Pakistan recently defeated New Zealand in the final of a tri-nation series in October.
India vs England: Head-to-head record
India just have an edge over England in the h2h T20I contest with 12 wins. The English side, on the other hand, has 10 victories over the Men in Blue in this format. They played a three-match bilateral series against each other last July, which India won 2-1.
Read More: T20 World Cup: India beat Zimbabwe, will face England in semis
Pakistan vs New Zealand first semifinal: Probable lineups
The Sydney Cricket Ground will host the Pakistan vs New Zealand first semifinal contest on November 9. The SCG is one of the few pitches in Australia that tend to support the spinners. Both teams, therefore, will construct their playing XI based on the nature of the wicket, where more than one spinner could be included in the lineup.
India vs England second semifinal: Probable lineups
The Adelaide Cricket Stadium is likely suited for the pacers to thrive, and it’s also a high-scoring venue. The oval ground is relatively smaller in the square of the wicket, which will be taken into consideration when selecting players for this contest.
Aftermath
New Zealand, India, England, and Pakistan are the four deserving semifinalists of the T20 World Cup 2022. The matches will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, in two of Australia's most iconic venues: Sydney and Adelaide. The Asian heavyweights, Pakistan and India, have better head-to-head records than their semifinal counterparts, New Zealand and England. However, there is no favourite team in such big matches; instead, the chances of winning are higher for the team having a good game that day.

Will Bangladesh directly qualify for 2024 T20 World Cup?
Fans are wondering whether Bangladesh would directly qualify for the ninth edition of the Twenty20 format of cricket World Cup after their defeat to Pakistan in their last Super 12 Round fixture. Tigers finished fifth in Group 2's point standings after losing their last game, jeopardizing their direct qualification. Will Bangladesh directly qualify for the 2024 T20 World Cup?
What is the qualification process for the Twenty20 World Cup 2024?
Twenty teams will take part in the 2024 World Cup. Among them, twelve teams will automatically qualify for the ninth edition of the tournament. The top eight teams in the T20 World Cup 2022, along with the two hosts—the West Indies and the USA—will directly compete in the main event of the 2024 ICC Twenty20 World Cup in June. The two remaining teams will be picked based on the ICC’s rankings.

The top eight teams in the 2022 ICC Twenty20 World Cup are Australia, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, South Africa, and the Netherlands. These national teams get a direct entry into the next edition of the T20 World Cup. The remaining two teams will be confirmed by the ICC men’s T20I rankings as of November 14.
Based on the ICC’s current rankings, Bangladesh are at ninth position and Afghanistan are at tenth place. There is no chance that these two teams will fall further in the rankings before the deadline. Therefore, both Bangladesh and Afghanistan will play directly in the next event.
The remaining eight teams will be confirmed through the ICC’s five qualifying competitions. The qualifying competitions are the Africa Qualifier, the Americas Qualifier, the Asia Qualifier, the East-Asia Pacific Qualifier, and the Europe Qualifier.
The format of the tournament will be different from the current one. The 20 qualifying teams will be divided into four groups of five. The top two teams from each group will advance to the Super 8 Round, where four teams will divide into two groups for a berth in the semifinals and then the final.

Bangladesh’s performance in the 2022 T20 World Cup
Bangladesh started well in the 2022 Twenty20 World Cup in Australia, winning their opening fixture against the Netherlands by 9 runs. They also registered a victory over Zimbabwe. However, Bangladesh lost all of their matches against tough opponents—South Africa, India, and Pakistan, respectively—and finished fifth in Group 2’s point standings with 4 points. The Tigers would have finished fourth in the standings hadn’t the Netherlands upset South Africa in their last fixture of the Super 12s. The Dutch side finished above Bangladesh to take the fourth spot in the points table with better run rates.
Bottom Line
According to the ICC's current rankings, Bangladesh's direct entry into the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup is all but certain. However, it was a major failure for the team Tigers not to place in the top four in Group 2 of the Super 12 Round point standings in the 2022 Twenty20 World Cup.
