England face India in Guyana on Thursday for a spot in the T20 World Cup final.

England head coach Matthew Mott believes his side have gone from “rock bottom” to the real deal as they prepare to fight for a place in the T20 World Cup final.

But England’s director of cricket Rob Key held the line, insisting they had earned the right to defend the title they won together in 2022 and has watched them walk a tightrope all the way into the last four.And Mott, who bore the brunt of the criticism last time around, thinks hard experience has helped he and Buttler forge the team’s identity.

“Jos and I have a great combination going. We really enjoy our influence on the group and a lot of the senior players are really contributing as well. “We have not had the dream run yet but I would like to think we will put our best foot forward in this game,” he said. There is no reserve day for the match, the only knockout game not to have one allocated, meaning a washout would send India through by virtue of winning their Super 8 group.

“I’m not going to lie, it would be great to have a reserve day because the weather can change from day to day.
