T20 World Cup 2022: New Zealand vs Pakistan (1st Semi-final)
New Zealand became the first team to qualify for the semi-finals. They also topped Group 1 and will now play in the first semi-final. But for them, it’s their biggest challenge ahead. New Zealand faced defeats from Pakistan and Australia in the last edition of the T20 World Cup in the UAE. Australia is already out, and now they will face Pakistan. On the other hand, Pakistan recently thrashed them in the tri-series as well. Thus, the Black Caps will have a big task on their hands.
Players to Watch out for: Glenn Philips, Finn Allen and Mitchell Santner
Pakistan were the luckiest team to enter the semi-final despite losing their first two group games. But now, it will not be a wrong statement to say that they are looking very dangerous now. Despite their openers not performing, the middle order has come through for them in the last few games. The bowling is always as lethal as it was. The addition of Mohammad Haris has certainly given them a boost. And because they have always dominated New Zealand, they will also have that in mind.

T20 World Cup 2022: India vs England (2nd Semi-final)
India has won the most group games in the ongoing competition as compared to other teams. The 71-run win over Zimbabwe must have given them an extra boost, and they would like to carry on the winning momentum into the semis. But they know that England are the toughest opponents when it comes to the white ball. But India has in-form players like Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav in their ranks. The only concern will be bowling, but the bowlers have also responded well. Overall, it will be a high-voltage clash between England and India on November 10.
Players to Watch out for: Suryakumar Yadav, Virat Kohli and Arshdeep Singh
England entered the competition as the favorites to win it, and here they are in the semis. The only loss against Ireland was due to rain. But since then, they have largely dominated their opposition. They edged past the defending champions, Australia, because of a better NRR. But now it is a must-win, and that too against India. Jos Buttler and his men would like to win the title to continue their dominance in white-ball cricket.
Players to Watch out for: Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes and Mark Wood
