“Don’t want to see India vs Pakistan final”: Jos Buttler
Star batter Jos Buttler anticipates England to ruin the party for the Asian powers in the ICC event’s semi-final stage, despite the desire of the cricketing world for India and Pakistan to revive their World Cup rivalry at the biggest stages of them all. Only New Zealand, headed by Kane Williamson, finished ahead of England in Group 1 as the previous world champions advanced to the finals of the major competition in Australia.
Australia’s early elimination from the World Cup stage in the Super 12 stage had been confirmed by England’s qualification. In contrast to England’s match against Rohit Sharma’s Team India, New Zealand’s semi-final match against Pakistan’s Babar Azam took place today and Pakistan has reached Finals.
Before India and England square off in the second semifinal, Buttler was questioned on England’s confidence in upsetting India’s World Cup celebration. In any case, Buttler told reporters, “We certainly don’t want to see an India-Pakistan final, so we’ll be trying everything we can to make sure that doesn’t happen.” When asked about the atmosphere in the England camp, Buttler responded that his team is optimistic about facing title challengers India in the World Cup’s penultimate game.
It’s going to be a great occasion, and these are the times that you want to be involved as a player, said Buttler. “We’re all really excited about the match, in my opinion one of the best stadiums in the world against a brilliant Indian team, which I’m sure will be well supported tomorrow,” he added.
Additionally, the England wicketkeeper-batter provided updates on Mark Wood and Dawid Malan. Prior to their match against India in the semifinals, the English pair gave England a worry over injuries.

“Let’s observe their pull-up. We’ll do our best to give them as much time as we can. Woody and Dawid both left the field the other day with minor aches and pains, but we trust the medical staff. The England captain continued, “We trust those two lads, too, and we’ll give them as much time as we can.
