IND vs ENG: Dawid Malan to PLAY India vs England T20 World Cup 2022 Match? Here’s the update

Dawid Malan IND vs ENG: It is now time for the business end of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 wherein table-toppers from Group 2, India will be locking horns with England in the second semi-final on 10 November, 2022 (Thursday) scheduled to be held at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide. The Indian team are coming off from an incredible 71-run victory over Zimbabwe during their last league stage game of the season. On the other hand, England defeated Sri Lanka by a convincing margin of 4 wickets in their previous match.

IND vs ENG: Dawid Malan to PLAY India vs England T20 World Cup 2022 Match? Here’s the update

During the previous victory against Sri Lanka, England’s premier batsman Dawid Malan sustained a groin injury and did not came out to bat in the second innings of the chase. In a recent interview with BBC, English all-rounder Moeen Ali stated that Malan is highly doubtful to be available for selection in the upcoming important clash against India on Thursday. In case Dawid Malan fails to recover in time, England are very much likely to include hard-hitting batsman Philip Salt in the playing XI for their semi-final encounter against India.

“He has been one of our best players for a number of years. I don’t know but to be honest with you it is not looking great. He went for scans yesterday and when he arrived, we don’t really know much but it is not looking great,” Moeen Ali told BBC in an interview.

“England are the underdogs because I think India have been playing fantastically well over the last few years. Even if you look at this competition, I think they have been playing really well, generally. I think we have been a little behind, but hopefully, we can pull it off,” Moeen Ali further added.
