Final Analysis Before IND vs ENG Semi-Final
Wankhede is clearly a high-scoring venue with an average first innings score of 187. Batting depth is very important here. Bowlers who execute yorkers and slower balls perform better.
India have strong batting numbers at this venue, especially from Kohli, Rohit, Abhishek Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav. England have also chased big totals here in the past. Expect another high-scoring thriller in the semi-final.
