After and early exit in the T20 World Cup 2021, India have given a series of great performances in their redemption journey this year. In the Super 12 stage the 'Men in Blue' have topped the Group 2 with 4 wins from their 5 matches.

 India began their journey with a thrilling win against their arch-rivals, Pakistan. This was followed by a clinical performance against the Netherlands. However, after this they hit a bump as the batting order could not cope up with the South African pacers on the bouncy wicket to Perth. 

Rohit Sharma's men soon recovered as they came back strong in the next match against Bangladesh. The 'Men in Blue' finished their Super 12 on a high not with a convincing victory against Zimbabwe. Hence, barring the match against the Proteas, the team has looked sorted.

So, what can we expect from one of the strongest contenders of this edition of the tournament in the semi-finals?

Inference

India has looked to start slowly in order to keep wickets intact for the end. But this ploy has not entirely worked out for the team as they have lost a few wickets early. The middle overs and death overs have been the strong point of India in this tournament. 

X-Factor

The biggest X-Factor for team India is the strong finishes that they have been able to get. They have not only scored runs at a great rate in the final overs but also lost wickets than the other teams.
