India and WI are playing the rematch of the classic 2016 T20 World Cup semifinal clash, with the clash set to take place at Kolkata. The match would be a home game of sorts for spinner Varun, who plays here at Eden Gardens for his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). However, the star spinner has hit a slight rough patch in the Super Eight phase after a stunning start in the group stage.

West Indies and India will tussle it out at Kolkata in a repeat of their classic 2016 T20 WC semifinal clash in Mumbai.

Tilak will have massive shoes to fill of Virat, who has been India's biggest match-winner in T20 World Cup history and the tournament's top run-getter.

But this time around, the man with the number 18 jersey and MRF bat would not be taking a walk to the crease amid massive cheers from the crowd, a sight which will be missed. But despite such a void left by Virat, the excitement, gear shifting, and skill set offered by Tilak make him a worthy heir apparent to Virat in T20Is at number three, and his arrival to the crease should be cheered as much as Virat's.

Australia remains her favourite stop, because it hosted her Grand Slam experience in 2020. That grounding in elite tennis still informs how she approaches competition in a measured yet purposeful manner.

The American, a former Masters champion, climbed to nine-under-par to hold a one-shot advantage over England's Andy Sullivan, who produced one of the rounds of the tournament with a brilliant seven-under 65.
