Ind vs Eng Live Score: Both Teams Have Form on Their Side
India and England have made it to the semi-finals not because they were fortunate, but owing to their impressive show at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 so far. The 2007 champions, India started their campaign with victories over Pakistan and the Netherlands.

India vs England Live: Will Toss Be a Big Factor?
How big a factor will toss be at the Adelaide Oval?
Let us look at the recent statistics. There have been four matches on this venue in this competition, of which the team batting second won four. Targets have been defended successfully only in two of these six matches.
India vs England: Captains’ Talk
Ahead of the all-important clash, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma explained why it will be important not to get too ahead, and simply stick to the plans.
"It's important to not get ahead of ourselves and we do understand as well that we have to play good cricket to win that game, which we have done in this tournament. We just need to stick to it," said Rohit in the pre-match press conference.
England skipper Jos Buttler, on the other hand, claimed that being in knockout-like situations previously will help the team. "We've played in two must-win games just before this, as well, so we're used to that feeling of being in knockout cricket already. So we feel that we've gained some good confidence from those matches," he said.
India vs England Live: Individual Battles Will Be Crucial
Winning individual battles will be of paramount importance in today's match. India will hope that Adil Rashid does not add to his excellent numbers against Virat Kohli, while Rohit Sharma can take the attack on Sam Curran.
As for England, Jos Buttler's poor records against Bhuvneshwar Kumar is a major cause of concern, while Dawid Malan could have a tough time against Ravichandran Ashwin, given his unimpressive statistics against off-spinners.
India vs England: England Win Toss, To Bowl First
England skipper Jos Buttler won the flip of the coin and opted to bowl first. The chasing teams have done well in the recent matches on this ground, which explains Buttler's decision.
"Looks a good wicket. Hope it stays well the whole game," the wicketkeeper-batter said after the toss.
For Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, England's decision has worked out in his favour as he stated he wanted to bat first in any case. "We would have batted first anyway. We've played some good cricket, another opportunity for us to play the same way we have all tournament," Sharma said.

India's streak of semi-final defeats in ICC tournaments continue. Trying to put a finger on why the team is not turning up in knockouts, skipper Rohit Sharma said "It's all about handling the pressure in knockout games. All these guys have played enough to understand that. These guys have played under pressure in IPL games, it's all about keeping calm. We were nervy at the start."
"Pretty disappointed how it turned up today. We batted well at the backend to get that score. We were not up to the mark with the ball, couldn't turn up today," he further added.
Speaking on the positives, he highlighted "When we won the first game, it showed a lot of character. The game against Bangladesh, it was a tricky one, but we held our nerves."
India vs England: We Have Shown Amazing Character - Jos Buttler
It is not long ago that England suffered a shock defeat against neighbours Ireland. Back then, it seemed that their time in the tournament will be cut short, but the Three Lions have pulled things back incredibly well.
"I think the character we have shown since the Ireland match has been amazing. We came here very excited, there was a very good feeling. Everyone from 1 to 11 - stood up today. We always want to start fast and aggressive. Rashid was batting at 11, that's incredible to know that we have such depth," he said.
