GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) — England also is likely to emphasize aggression in its approach and especially as a means to thwart Bumrah.
“They definitely come out a lot harder in the powerplay with the bat,” England head coach Matthew Mott said. “The way Rohit has led from the front is quite obvious for everyone to see. But that also presents a unique opportunity for our bowling attack to take early wickets.
“We’ve had to play most of this tournament from behind and with adversity. We’d love to throw that first punch, get in front and really hammer that home.”
The one thing neither team can control is the weather and rain is forecast Thursday which might have a major effect on the game and its outcome. Extra time has been allocated to try to achieve a result but in the case of a washout and with no reserve day, India will go through as the higher-placed team after the Super Eight.
