Ind vs Eng Semifinal: Big warning from England legend Nick Knight before the semi-finals, told how to stop this dangerous player of the Indian team.

News India Live, Digital Desk: T20 World Cup 2026 has now reached its most exciting turn. The phase of rhetoric has begun before the high-voltage semi-final match between India and England. Former England cricketer and veteran commentator Nick Knight has made a big claim about a rising star of the Indian team. Nick Knight believes that if England want to make it to the final, they will have to make a special strategy for this ‘high-class’ player of Team India. Sanju Samson’s fear: Nick Knight told Sanju Samson’s ‘weak point’ in the do-or-die match against West Indies. The stormy innings of 97* runs has surprised the whole world. Nick Knight praised Sanju, calling him a ‘high-class’ batsman, but also gave a Gurumantra to the England bowlers. According to Nick, Sanju is currently in the best form of his career and his footwork has become quite stable. He suggested that England’s fast bowlers should use more ‘short ball’ (bouncer) against Sanju, because fast balls coming on the body can make him uncomfortable. Special ‘plan’ for England bowlers Nick Knight reminded that a year ago on Mumbai ground, England bowlers had not targeted the stumps much, due to which they had to suffer the consequences. This time he has advised the England pace attack not to give Sanju Samson a chance to settle at the crease and to stick to the bouncer strategy from the beginning. However, he also warned that given the form Samson is in, this plan may also fail. India has the upper hand in the semi-finals? The way the Indian team has done a historic run chase (196 runs) against the West Indies, the team’s confidence is sky high. Apart from Sanju Samson, Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya are also in tremendous form. On the other hand, the England team will try to break the spin trap of India under the captaincy of Harry Brook. This match to be held on 5 March 2026 will decide which team will get the ticket for the final to be held in Melbourne. Will Sanju Samson once again prove Nick Knight’s predictions wrong? watching the
