England defeated India at the Adelaide ground to secure their final ticket. On November 13 (Sunday), England and Pakistan will meet in the final. But before this, today, through this article, we will tell you about those 3 master plans of English captain Jos Buttler, based on which England defeated India by 10 wickets in the semi-final.
Batting After Winning The Toss
The Indian team is very good at chasing. Jos Buttler was aware of this. In such a situation, before winning the toss on the Adelaide ground, he had thought that he would decide to bowl first.
The English captain himself admitted this after the match. He said, ‘Before the toss, I had a gut feeling that if I win the toss today, we will chase today.’ He added, Against India, when they know what to do, they become a little more dangerous. It worked today; it may not work the second time.
Chris Jordan Included In The Playing XI
Before the semi-final match, the England team’s star bowler Mark Wood was injured, so there was pressure on Captain Jose, but he did not disperse but shined on his decision. Jos Buttler included Chris Jordan as Wood’s replacement, and in the semi-final match, he showed his mettle by dismissing 3 Indian batters in 4 overs.
Butler said after the match, The experience adds to the inclusion of Chris Jordan. I felt the dimensions of this ground suited his game more than David Willey’s.
Batting In The Powerplay
Jos Buttler and Alex Hales almost assured the victory of the English team during the powerplay based on their explosive batting. Jose scored 80 runs at a strike rate of 163.27, while Alex Hales scored 86 at a strike rate of 182.98.
Jos Buttler’s mastermind is also the secret behind the English team’s opener being able to bat in an impeccable style. There were 5 all-rounders on the playing XI of the English team. Not only this, Adil Rashid, who came to bat at No. 11, has also scored 10 centuries and 37 half-centuries in first-class cricket. In such a situation, it was clear that he could swing the bat in difficult times.
