The cricket world is bracing for a massive collision tomorrow at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Defending champions India are set to face England in the second semi-final, and the tension is skyscraper-high. While India is the favorite, experts like Michael Vaughan are warning that England’s spin trio might actually have the upper hand on this specific pitch. Indian star Hardik Pandya was seen practicing power-hitting for nearly three hours last night, signaling that the “Men in Blue” aren’t planning on playing it safe.
There’s a bit of drama behind the scenes, too, as India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel had to answer tough questions about the team’s recent fielding blunders. On the other side, England’s Harry Brook is fiercely defending captain Jos Buttler, who has been struggling for runs lately. With over 500 million people already tuning in to this World Cup, tomorrow’s clash is expected to shatter every viewership record in the book.
