nil Gavaskar thinks the semifinal between India and England will be a humdinger of a contest, just like it was at the Eden on Sunday between India and West Indies.
“I think it’s going to be another cracker of a game, just like this sort of quarter-final against the West Indies was, because both sides are very well matched,” Gavaskar said. “They have got batting. They have got bowling. They have got a middle order. They have got, you know, the finisher. Both teams have finishers. Both teams have variety in their bowling.
“Both teams also have got a fair bit of experience of T20 cricket. England have got a few players who have played in the IPL, so who are familiar with Indian conditions, who are familiar with the pressure of playing. It is going to be a humdinger of a game. And like it went in Kolkata yesterday, I think this one also will likely go to the 40th over,” the former India captain added.
India may have won a World Cup final in 2011 at the Wankhede but lost a couple of semifinals at the venue in 1987 and 2016. But Gavaskar felt it was time the script changed.
